yeah will do, but I have a fair bit of confidence in these rods and the brand. The whiteline ones are fairly chunky, appear to be fairly high grade steel. I initially looked at the Pedders brand and they look a bit on the lean side. And to be honest in my experience, Pedders products aren't of an overly high standard. I had a Pedders adjustable panhard rod bend at Lakeside. I didn't hit any kurbs, no off track excursions. Only noticed when the l/h/r wheel started smoking on r/h turns. Got the car back to the pits and the l/h tyre was rubbing. Panhard rod had bent.... I ended up dodgying it up by sticking the jack under the panhard rod and straightening it so I could get the car home. Seems they can't handle a lot of lateral load or maybe I got a bad one. But I also looked at their coil over struts before I bought the ones I have now, and they weren't much chop either.
I know the guy who installed the rods and did the wheel alignment. He owns the steering suspension workshop, will supply most brands. He recommended the Whiteline brand, said he's had on them on his race car for a few years now and highly recommended them. Only thing he said is ditch the 2 piece k-frame bush that comes with them, apparently no good, they tear apart after a few sessions on the track. He installed a one piece Superpro bush instead
