Hey guys.. I am just curious to know how low you can actually go before u need an 'adjustable panhard rod' ?
Can u fit kings super lows and get away with not having to get an adjustable bar ?
Thanks for any help.

If you lower your car and it scrapes you obviously need a panhard rod.
But it depends on your tyres, rims, how low, etc, if it will rub.
Remember it may not rub but the suspension geometry will still be out, and your car may not drive and steer as good as it should.
So it is definitely recommended to get an adjustable panhard rod when lowering.

Get an adjustable bar and get front and rear align at same time professionally. You will notice a huge difference in handling and tyre life. Castor/camber kits are also more suited for fine adjustment, which i think made a difference on my car 8)

You DO need an adjustable bar for tyre scrub.
