Question non adjusable panhard bar from bmr

since, i have no plans of lowering my car or going with wider tires....will this be a good choice..worth the 99 bucks or not? if my car is lower than stock, it is a biotch to get in and out b/c of my height(no i am not fat)......that's why this car is my dd instead of the c5...wife is still loving her gt500......we sold the z 06 to get an suv, like an x5 bmw, because "the baby can't ride in that little back seat".......the z06 sold to an old highschool buddy for a fair price, 55k.......2007 16k miles

thanks for the help,

yes, i am glad the majority of you guys/gals like the music on the vid, but i am not redoing it to correct the typo of brenspped since all of you know what i meant anyway...

You,ll need an adjustable bar (I have the BMR adj.) because when you lower it, the rear end moves towards the passenger side (If memory serves).
It will show up with wider tires. I am lowered 1 1/4" and I'm 6' tall, 180 lbs and no problem getting in and out of it.
20min install time tops! No complaint so far, had it for 3 months. (the bar)
Hope this helps.

I have the adjustable one and would not have went with anything else.
I would suggest paying the extra $40 and getting the adjustable version. I know you don't have plans on lowering but one day you might, and if so you would already have the preferred part for it...Adjustable FTW!
Just my $0.02

I have the BMR adjustable pan-hard bar on my car.

JMO, if had no plans on lowering it or putting wider wheels/tires on it, I probably would have just left it alone and spent the money on something else.

Don't think of an aftermarket PHB as a performance mod. For *almost* all uses swapping the non-adjustable stock bar for a non-adjustable aftermarket bar will have zero affect on handling or other performance. The most common reason you'd want an aftermarket bar is for the adjustability when lowering a car. Now having said that, a stronger aftermarket bar with heavy duty bushings (poly or rod end) does have some (very little) benefits for extreme usage...like road racing for example. I've been there and done it, before and after, you'd be tough pressed to feel a difference in the seat of the pants.
