First off, I assume our cars don't come with these stock. Is this correct?

Secondly, can someone explain the benefits I will see in installing an adjustable pan hard rod? I've been told that since I've lowered my car with the Eibach Pro-Kit that I should really look into a pan hard rod.

Finally, some recomendations on brand for this would be really appreciated.

I know Grumpy has the knowledge I seek here...

First off all cars come with panhard bars, it's an integral part of the rear suspension. Second you should get an adjustable panhard rod when you lower a car to re-set the angle of the rear suspension. Installing one will give you better grip. A good brand is BMR which you can get at http://www.bmrfabrication.com

What SStylez said except the adjustable panhard will will allow you to center the axle left to right after lowering. I've done a STB GP with BMR and concur that Brett is a good guy to deal with.

I installed the SLP level 1 susp. after the fact. How does their(SLP) panhard bar stack up to BMR and others....?
Also the car is lower than stock, but I didn't "lower" it. Should I go adj. or regular bar? TIA.

IMHO the SLP panhard bar is as good as any, that's why I bought it but they don't sell an adjustable one. The only reason I wouldn't buy an SLP is if I had lowered my car.
