Panhard bar recommendation

[Kel]

Finally got my tires on order for the Alcoas. Rears are 305/35-20 555R's. In talking to DTD and the installing shop, they're recommending a panhard bar (stock suspension). What are you guys running/recommending? Thanks.

Bmr for me. Seems to be a popular choice on this forum.

BMR for me. Works great! I'm lowered though.

I went Ford Racing from Shelby. Price was $199.

This is the one I have and I also installed the support.

PHR006 - Panhard Rod, DOM, On-car Adjustable, Polyurethane Bushings

PHR007 - Upper Panhard Rod Support

BMR calls the lateral stiffener bar a panhard rod support.
Description from the 2014 Mustang Service Manual.

A lateral stiffener bar is used to strengthen the body with the panhard rod providing lateral stability for the axle.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. Now, I'll just need the BMR SVTP discount code

Snoopy, did you need to do an alignment after install/adjusting?

No alignment was necessary, the panhard doesn't effect the alignment, but I did re-center the rearend. My car was about a 3/16" off towards the drivers side from the factory. Now after a quick and easy adjustment of the panhard bar, it is centered. If you go the poly bushing route, make sure you lube the bushing before and after the install and make sure you torque the bar with weight on wheels or axle. `

Ordered! Installer busted two keys on the OEM wheel lug nuts, says he had to really crank on them to get them off. Hard to believe as the car is super low miles and never been in crappy weather/exposed to salt/corrosion to bugger them up. Guess I'll have to order a new key and eliminate the locks, sheesh. Anyone ordered a replacement from McGard and know how long it takes to get (closed on Sundays)?

If you need the specific key from McGard, no idea.

I ordered a set of locking lugs (4) and a key that were from ebay brand new. I just searched the part number of the factory set that came in the car. I think I only paid $20 for a whole setup.
