Default Panhard bar

Hi, I'm looking to put lowering springs in my 07 gt. Do I need a panhard bar if I'm only going an inch lower? Or do I need one no matter how much I lower it? Thanks for the help

Not really. The axle may be off a little side to side but you have to really look for it. If you are running oversize rear tires, you may experience an issue.

Everything I have read recommends you get an adjustable panhard bar to center the axle becuase lowering the car changes the geometry. It would be great for those who have done this to chime in...
