    I installed one in my car today
    You wouldnt notice the diff was off centre unless your car has been lowered a lot (Kings SSL's or ultra lows)
    Is there such a thing as too much power?
    I BELIEVE NOT

    I got a adjustable one off ebay for 110. They work well I have sl in my vr ute and didn't need one even with 225 tyres. Any lower and you would want one for sure

    I've been told that lowering these old live axles on these VRs etc will create excess tyre scrub at the back, possibly on the left (kerbside).
    I've had experienced mechanics say adjustable panhards don't work.
    In my experience, it has.
    Besides, my tyres don't last anyway.

    I dont see how an "experienced mechanic" cant see how they work, its not rocket science
    An adjustable panhard bar is needed in a lowered car simply because the standard bar is too long and pushes the diff off to the left, ruining the cars alignment

    My last rear set didnt last long before i had the bar in, wore the shyte out of the wall on the passenger side.
