I have the BMR Brace, I have no had a chance to get home to look at it yet. Have a pretty big project going down at a farm right now that has been tying most of my time up. I only get home every 4-6 weeks if im lucky.

I will let you know as soon as I get chance, hopefully this weekend.

As far as your car is concerned, there is another bar, not the panhard bar, that reinforces the rear suspension geometry. If you look, it is a stamped steel bar that crosses horizontal to your differential and is bolted up to the same mount as your panhard bar. You have probably bent that. You should replace it with an aftermarket piece, it is the weakest link in your rear suspension.

If he bent that, the whole frame is bent, as it bolts between the two sides of the frame. While physically it is thin steel that one can easily twist when in hand, it isn't very likely to be bent.

I had a few drinks and really did some beating of the car, slid around corners and such. Well, I had lose control kind of slide, which put a lot of stress on the right rear. Front wheels ended up touching the curb like I was at a parking spot . Luckily the chin spoiler will be going on soon.

Put a lot of stress on the right rear, like you hit the curb? If so, the panhard bar may be bent, or shifted slightly in the mounts.

As for the height right to left, find a level piece of ground and measure. My car on stock springs was about 1/4 inch different.

I did not slide into the curb.
