It's not a problem at all, but I'd certainly recommend an adjustable panhard bar like this one to center up your rear end after the drop:

I purchased the SR springs about a month ago. Although they are still in the box still debating whether the drop is going to be too low. I have read in various places that a panhard bar is needed as well as camber plates (or at least the camber bolts).

From what I have gathered from this thread...adjustable panhard bar are needed. Camber plates and bolts aren't. What would be the advantage of just getting a camber adjustment blot?

I realize that I have to get the car aligned after lowering it, but is the panhard bar something that needs to be adjusted by a suspension shop? Or is it something a shade tree could do?

Thanks guys!

You can definitely install the adjustable panhard bar on your own. It will take about 45minutes to an hour. American Muscle website has a great instruction write up with photos.

I grabbed the SR's on cyber Monday just due to the price. Glad I did. Looks real good and the ride, even with stock shocks is still respectable. I changed springs only on my 2010.

Fox Fader...they look good....big improvement! I bought my springs at the same time...hard to beat $99! Did you purchase a panhard bar, camber plate, or camber adjustment bolt? Any advice on install? Thanks.

Springs only. Very easy car to change springs on. I didn't come across any surprises. Car still drove straight down the road. Gonna check the alignment this week.
