MM vs. J&M Adj. PHB
#11
I wish I had a garage and four floor jacks...oh yeah, and that BMR suspension setup!
I'm gonna redo my suspension when I get the new wheels, so my plans have been delayed again!!! It'll be worth it though. I just have springs from now, and I am starting to wish that I got the D-specs from the get go. It wasn't so bad at first, but now its getting a little irritating.
On the original topic, Stangsuspension has the BMR adj panhard on sale for $118 and some change. It cost $12 to ship, so you really don't save much, but saving is saving. That's the one I plan to get, but not right now.

That's what I should have done.
Reuse the OEM bar and after the cutting and welding I was talking about in the previous post, I should have used this hardware I picked up at LOWES for cheap.
Done.

Well crap I didn't think about all that... Pascal is it a huge PITA to deal with adjusting the style of PHB like the Steeda and J&M? Don't you just have to deal with it once pretty much?? I already bought it

Dealing with it once was more than enough for me. I thought the end adjusters would be a bit stronger, but in hindsight perhaps one adjuster in the middle isn't that much weaker than two on the ends. I put the J&M on last weekend and it's a pita. Adjust it to length off the car by guessing, remember to keep both ends 'square'. Put on car and measure each side. Remove, adjust, reinstall, repeat until correct. Getting both ends square and tightened was a hassle. Seems much easier to insall the other style, then adjust on car and tighten the jam nuts. Just my .02 if I had to do it over.

But I had to go back at it 3 times! PITA
I put the rear in the middle of the car, go test drive it and it stays where I put it.
Alright, but a few days later, the rear has shifted, and I think I know why...
You have to back up the car at a good speed and then stand on the brakes hard to make the back end dive, so it pulls on that phd bar, thus shift the rear.
I only figured that at the third try, duuugh.

Come on pascal how did you even realize that it was neccesary to do that?

So I have an opportunity to pick up an Adjustable PHB for $125, it's the MM, same one as here
http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php...ducts_id=12378
or
I can get the J&M Adjustable PHB for $75, same one as here

What do you guys think? J&M just as good as MM or should I pay the extra for quality?

If you hate it -sell it for profit as others have mentioned. Make sure to get the adj PHB the same length as the stock one before you place it on the car if the car is already centered where it should be with the stock one.
