Well I put my BMR panhard rod on.

The install went smooth. PB Blaster took care of the rust. I had to make a trip out to Lowe's to get a deep 18mm socket. Didn't find that out until i had her ass end up off the ground with her back wheels off.

I gave up trying to find zinc-coated bolts, so I just bought new ones from the dealer. The bolts only come in sets of 5, (an odd number?) so if anyone needs a set of replacement PHR bolts, they're yours for the cost of shipping.

I took her out for a spin. Couldn't really tell a difference. I mostly just put the PHR on there cause it was the last suspension mod I could think of. Well anyway, the car corners like a damn indycar these days. She'll never go fast off the line, but at least she's fun to spin through the twisties.

Are those bolts the same size bolts as for LCAs?

No they're not. They're goofy looking. Only the bottom half is threaded, the top half is flared, so they can only mount up in direction. In other words, the 'inlet' hole and 'outlet' hole are two different diameters.

The stock nuts are brass-looking, and they feel like they're deforming when you run them down onto the bolts. They're definitely never going to work themselves loose.

I noticed a little difference when I installed my PHB... nothing major though. Do you have subframe connectors yet Matt?

you want my 10 year old salad shooters? I couldn't ask for much -- they've got some curb rub and the clearcoat is peeling. I really doubt you want them.

Wheels ran $465 from 610 Dubz Dealers here in Houston. Cheap as Balls.
