Panhard bar and lower control arms
I'm putting a new rear in my car and am getting a new adj panhard bar because my car is lowered, i was planning on getting one from Spohn because the sway bars i'm getting are also made by them. Is it worth getting the chrome moly ones or should i just get the ones made of mild steel ($30 difference). I also figure i might as well get new lower control arms while the rear is off, Spohn brand control arms are kinda pricey. Should i just go with them or does anyone have any suggestions on what brand i should look at?
Thanks for your time

I went with the UMI 1982-02 F-Body Double Adjustable Panhard Bar and UMI 1982-02 F-Body Tubular Non-Adjustable Lower Control Arms. I did pay the extra 30 for the chrome moly though  Since my car was lowered...my rear is now centered again and I dont have anymore wheel hop at the track

If you go poly, make sure that you keep everything properly lubricated. Not only will the bushings creak and sound like crap but they will bind up and give you a harsher ride.

If you are painting your rear axle, pick up a can of Rust Oleum professional semi gloss black and use that. I think they sell it at Home Depot, but if they don't you can get it at the welding store on 31 (what used to be Mercer Gas). Randy usually stocks it.

It's like POR-15. It's a conversion coating that you can paint right over rust to encapsulate it.

Wrong, With POR15 you have to buy their prep solution and apply first then topcaot with POR. If you don't do this POR will NOT work. I have a sealed can if you want to buy it.

It is most certainly directly applicable. Restomotive told me I could do it, and I have. Granted it certainly works the best when you use marine clean, then metal ready and go that route, but that's not to say it doesn't work if you paint it right on. The surface just has to have good tooth for the coating to stick to. I only use it for frames and such and they are usually sandblasted for that reason.
