you may or may not get problems but your suspension won't be aligning quite right and if anything the panhard rod will break

It costs like $100 to get an adjustable panhard rod from Whiteline.. there's little point in skimping on alignment products.

that rod that sits on the back of your rear axle keeps the suspension in alignment but can be a bit out of whack when you lower the car (change the geometry of the suspension)
i think there is even a good article on this site about it so check ^ up there |

oh ok so it is the panhard rod not the link rod. I gets it now cheers. I got a adjustable one anywhos..... Went in for an alignment and the toe was out 36.5 ml on the front left they tell me that is bad. I tend to agree as it handled like shit when accelerating. All better now though i could not be happier with the g4 racing coilovers and would highly recoment them to other members.

i found that mine ate front tyres with neg camber and zero toe-in/out, and applying 3mm of toe-out made quite a difference frank |

yeah i gotta go somewhere else man. I have just looked at the alighnment details and they have set it all square not happy right now. I argued with them and told them i wanted all this stuff done and they were saying we dont wanna do it it is wrong. I was like i am paying you but t seems they still did what they wanted. Grrrrrr
Time to go to Bridgestone. |
