You may end having toadd the brace as well. The stock brace is shaped like an upside down U. When you hit a large bump on the driver's side the springs compress and the stock panhard rod fits into the U. The adjustable brace has a large turnbuckle and it may not fit into the U and may bang when it hits the sides of the brace. The BMR brace rather than being shaped like an upside down U is flat and the panhard rod won't hit it and bang on it.
Install the adjustable panhard rod and after having driven it for a while, you'll know if it's hitting or not (you will definitely hear it if it does). If it doesn't bang, don't worry about it and keep the stock brace.

No, I know the difference between the Upper Control Arm or 3rd link (which sits above the pumpkin)
a Panhard rod
and a Panhard rod brace, which is straight from end-end but the stock one is inverse U shaped in cross section rather than flat.

RE: Panhard & V6
When I installed my Roush rear springs I also installed an adjustable bar to center the wheels ... purely for aesthetic reasons as well. I am still using the factory brace with no problem. Supposedly even from the factory the wheels are not always centered ...
