american muscle has an adjustable panhard bar on sale right now for like 95, its j&m, i just got mine so it wasnt the most exspensive, also while your buying parts look into eiter caster camber plates instead of the gt500 strut mounts or get some caster camber bolts along with the gt500 strut mounts, somtimes a drop can throw to much neg camber and can eat the inside of your tires up pretty fast, the bolts and the gt500 strut mounts are the way i went, was cheaoer than a set of plates

So if I got springs and struts, it will be 'clunky'? And the strut mounts will prevent that? How do the caster camber bolts improve?

It could be clunky.. in other words, they could have more stress on them due to the new angle positioning. Some get a popping noise in the front end when the strut mounts go bad or are under too much stress.

The camber bolts are utilized in cases where people don't have the money to buy cc plates and like to have the adjust-ability at a lower price. Some plates will offer more adjustment than the bolts, but in some cases the bolts work fine. The more you lower the car, the more adjustment you will need to correct the caster and camber.

what he said, he worded a lil better than me i suppose, and it shouldnt be clunky with new shock mounts, some people say the caster camber plates are a lil noisy
