Youdont need the relocation kit..unless you changed your axle girdle..the stock placement is fine..for the panhard bar..
Also the Steeda bar is great..but with your D-specs its possible to be to stiff...with no play and or suspension travel the ride can be brutal..When i installed
all the BMR stuff, the car was like night and day..and handles like a mother..
Also like i mentioned be carefull on the front sway bar as there in so much understeer dialed into the car from the factory, that i still have the stock front sway bar..As the rear now is so stiffened up, it seems to be a nice balance..though of course with the power its easy to slide the rear out..
Do your rear first and see how you like it...

After reading the recommendations by Taco Bill I won't be replacing the front sway bar. There is a risk of being too stiff with the Steeda rear sway, but there is some adjustment in the D-Specs. I do want to change the girdle out so the relocation kit will work great for me. I believe they use a Moser rear girdle.

The steeda panhard bar is a nice piece but in every other aspect of parts, BMR is better than steeda...period.

I too have the stock front sway. I have the Steeda rear sway using the factory endlinks and it is too easy to swing the rear end out. Handling feels very different. Power on out of a corner and you'll get into trouble fast and that's with my D-spect dialed to 5 out.
You apparently are not familiar with Taco Bill are you? I would trust his recommendation. It is mostly the end links he is recommending over the BMR, not the bar itself.
Please name a single person who has snapped the end links with either brand? I made a comment about the panhard bar, not the rear sway bar. The fact is, the ultimate 'sway bar' in the rear is the BMR extreme anti roll bar. Everyone making over 600 rwhp has it on their car garunteed.
I know taco bill. I even met him and he's a nice guy and very informative. However, his car is nowhere near the level of breaking crap to know what's stronger.
I've broken just about every stock part in the car minus the windows. I've cracked the bushings in the steeda LCA's twice. I've ripped a part 2 stock differentials and snapped a tru track and destroyed 2 sets of gears.
I make almost 800 ftq on my car so have an idea of what can take punishment and what can't. Steeda is junk for stress...period. However, I've never had an issue with steeda panhard bar which I've had on my car for over 2 years...

Bill knows his stuff, there's no doubt about that and he is a really nice guy. However, until you break something, you really don't know how strong it is...
I respect your apparent experience, however I think you must be biased against Steeda for some reason (that I really don't care about). Steeda rear sway bar it is, and I'm sure it will be a fine product. They have been around a long time. Thanks for your input however.
