Default Panhard Bar Installation ...

Has anyone installed a Maximum Motorsports panhard bar on their fox body? I looked at the instructions for the first time and it seems pretty damn complicated! Am I going to be able to do this alone? How hard was it to do all the drilling for the bolts, etc.?

Any tips, advice, etc.? I was excited about installing this until I looked at the directions for the first time today lol

They put one on that mustang on Horsepower TV and it didn't look to hard...I think you can do it. It was onl;y like 2 holes to drill I thought.

I think I might have that problem! For some reason I can barely fit my SLP's I have on there now! I guess we will have to wait and see, if it doesnt fit then I am selling it.

Yea, I think its only a few holes but Im not sure how hard they are going to be, I think you have to drill into the frame...

Well, I will just wait and see. Also, now if I install this panhard bar, when I go to swap out my control arms, etc. am I going to have to take the whole thing off? [&:] This sucks because I am kind of having second thoughts about it.. Someone shed some light lol

From what I saw, you can leave it on. It mounts shock mount and the frame rail from what I remember
