Default Best Panhard Bar?

So i'm planning on lowering my car next week and wasn't sure which adjustable panhard bar to get. Which one would you guys recommend? are they all the same or some easier to adjust than others?

thanks

Simple technology, go with customer service of said company. BMR or whiteline.

Generally the cheaper companies don't put as much thought into the design and often they are not single-point adjustable.

My J&M requires loosening/tightening at two points and the grease nibs are not in the easiest to reach location compared to BMR, but the bar itself works great and I like the quality of the bushings.

But if you want "Best Panhard Bar" like your thread suggests, the slightly more expensive ($40-$60) Steeda, Whiteline, or BMR bars might offer an easier to use design.

I run the Hotchkis bar, but we do have Whiteline as an option for you as well if you're interested:


Hotchkis Adjustable Panhard Rod Mustang


Whiteline Adjustable Panhard Rod Mustang

Hope that helps!

I recommend J&M, but any of the above would be a great choice.

The UPR panhard bar is extremely durable, thanks to its tubular chrome-moly and Energy Suspension bushings. It's Made in America and it carries a Lifetime Guarantee.

get one that is on-car adjustable. Just be sure to tighten it down really well after adjustment. Mine is UMI
