You need an adjustable panhard rod

why would you need a APR if you deck your vl on stockys?

i think its got something to do with the standard one not being adjustable so it pushes your diff to one side or something like that the lower it gets but i didnt worry bout getting one yet

To re-center the diff. It has nothing to do with what rims you have

when you lower it the body will move one way, which may cause it to scrub if u got rims.

what i think milad is saying is on stock rims, the diff shifting over isnt enough to make the wheels scrub out on the side walls, cause theyre only skinny stockies, compared to a 8" wide alloy.

And to the people who say you don't need one... if you aren't worried about the rear of your car body sitting 30-50mm over to one side then you have rocks in your head

thanks dude. thats what i was trying 2 say.
my vl is pretty low with stock PHR and the 205/65/15 stockys have no problems.
so i dont see why you would need one if you got calais rims..
unless you want to run 225's

If you can use a ratchet and a spanner, I'm sure you could work it out.

21-07-11, 16:09 GMT+10#20 I was thinking of getting super lows too, how far can you drop from FE2 before you need a shorter panhard rod?
