    Especially if it's already lowered, you need to start by getting the geometry back with the relocation brackets. Can't help you on brand as I've been making all of my own suspension parts for years.
    1] lower control arm relocation
    2] subframe connectors (especially if it's a t-top car)
    3] lower control arms single adjustable, or non
    4] torque arm, adjustable
    5] panhard bar, adjustable

      You definetely need an Adjustable panhard bar since you lowered the car, Hell even at stock ride height the rearends aren't centered.
      UMI makes great stuff



      BTW were you on Gratiot last night ?
      I know I saw a triple black droptop T/A.

        Like said above, since your lowered
        • Control Arm Relocation Brackets
        • Adjustable Panhard Bar
        • Control arms of your choice (double, single, or non adjustable)
        • Adjustable torque arm
        UMI just came out with a "on car adjustable" panhard bar that has poly/poly ends.

                  They are a weld on type supplied with a bolt kit. Bolt them in and have them welded at the eight points if you like.
                  Here is the link to the connectors without the bolt kit. Its the same connector, just not supplied with the bolt kit. I also attached a better image.
