Wow Alan that's great before/after shots and ya, pretty damn near perfect stance.
I'm back on the "Pro" bandwagon

I noticed that my right rear fender/wheel gap is 3/8" bigger than left side. Would a panhard bar fix this. Also I want to drop the rear a little more to level it out. I was told I could remove the isolators from the rear. Those are the rubber bushings on each end of the spring correct? Does this sound correct. Will it do any damage if I remove them

The panhard bar is for centering the axle and would fix that issue.

Mine probably did settle a little, but I didn't measure. I removed the rear isolators in mine to reduce the rake. It added some noise, but it's not unbearable. This panhard bar will center your rear end.

UPR,
I removed the rear isolators like you mentioned that you did on yours. I noticed that when my speed gets above 20-30 miles per hour I start to hear a whining noise. The pitch and sound increases as the speed increases. Its not a grinding or rubbing noise. Its hard to describe but it sounds kinda like it does when your brake pads are almost worn all the way down. Is this the added noise you are hearing. Does anyone have info

Mine has that noise. I generally have my stereo up about 20% volume anytime I'm in the car and I never hear the spring noise. But if I turn off the stereo, I can hear that. And the tranny. And the rear gear. And...
