Who has a panhard bar and tri link setup?
I know these type of threads have come up from time to time, but I'm curious if anyone who is still active on here has a panhard and tri link setup and which one you have. I'm pretty set on buying the G force engineering parts, since I've heard good things about them, but www.iscracing.net has a few left and they are cheaper. Anyone use their stuff? Like I said i'm pretty se on G force, but I'm curious to see what you guys say....

From what I've read on older threads on the subject they are designed to work with each other. Also, the tri link won't fit in there with the watts link still in place. After doing some more research through old threads I'm pretty much sold on the G force setup, either way I'd still like some more opinions. Also what kind of spring rates are you guys running with this setup?

You might have better luck in the Race Tech Section. I have an Apex brand panhard bar that a friend bought off eBay and gave me. Still haven't decided if I want to try it out or not. Installation instructions are a bit cryptic for me.
As far as spring rates, 350-400 front and 150-175 rears seem to be the norm.

I have a ground control panhard and custom tri-link. car handles much much much better and is easier to control.
if you do it in steps, remove the watts and install the panhard first. then tri-link.
it will be noisy and stiff with the heim joints, and the heims need to be replaced regularly but there are some 'socks' you can put over heims so they won't get dirty and prematurely wear. quality of heims are directly proportional to their cost. teflon lined last longer and not as noisy.
that said, i did have the g force panhard but could not install it since my exhaust pipe over axel was too close to the frame, where the panhard wanted to mount to the frame. returned it. very nice piece though, too bad.
i had the iscracing.net tri-link which has a bracket that mounts to the frame on the left? side? and it would not line up properly, might be my car. returned it.
having a trilink that is straight and goes thru the floor, mounts to crossmember behind the seats is better design but takes much more work to do. is not class legal for IT, EP, CS, CSP, etc.....
350 front, 150-175 rear.
