Suspension R&D at SPC performace
In July I had the opportunity to provide my Mustang for some suspension R&D at SPC Performance located in Longmont Colorado. The staff was great and it was a great experience. Yesterday they had me back to test fit a few prototype items. Yet another great experience. While on the rack they provided a 4 wheel alignment and installed a SPC ADJ. Panhard Bar. I can not believe how light the panhard bar is in comparison to other I have tried. The quality is top notch and it is made in their factory that is also located in Longmont. The car drives like a dream again. The launch feels very well planted. It is always nice to be all squared up again also.
If you are in the market for suspension items definitely check them out.

looks like a nice bar. I wonder why they chose to use spherical bearings. Different look than all the rest I presume?
What other pieces are they working on? It looks like they made you some trailing arms as well?
The problem with these cars for the aftermarket is that the basic design of the factory system works fine. There's only so many ways to put a couple of rod ends into a piece of aluminum. It makes it very hard for a new guy on the block to make something viable for sale.

The different detail I'm seeing is that the rod end adjustments are about as close to the pin-connection ends of the PHB as is physically possible, one at each end of the bar (not in the middle, or even two near the same end). Translation: better resistance against buckling for an on-car adjustable piece than any other design that I've seen so far, assuming all the other aspects like tube diameter and wall thickness are the same among the various designs.
