You obviously didnt read the thread TwinVS ^^
You DO need an adjustable bar, otherwise the alignment geometry front to back will be out and the car will handle unpredictably. They also help with tyre scrub but thats not their main purpose.

24-05-06, 19:32 GMT+10#22 The 'alignment geometry', as you put it, changes every time the rear moves up or down! The perfect rideheight for the rear end is when the panhard rod is horizontal.

Can u fit kings super lows and get away with not having to get an adjustable bar ?
Thanks for any help.

I meant of the wheels front to back. As in the track will be offset. Not the alignment of the tailshaft.
If the panhard was horizontal the diff would be inside the car!!

The panhard rod is on an angle as you would know. If you were to bring the diff end of the panhard rod up to the same level as the mount on the body of the car (therefore making the rod horizontal) the diff housing would be bloody close to the bottom of the car. Maybe not inside the car but you'd still have a whole bunch of problems to deal with (exhaust, tailshaft angle etc).
