Nice write-up. And a beautiful car you have there!! The panhard bar should fix any of your problems, it did mine. I've not once had any rubbing issues. NOTE: I originally had non adj LCA's. While cleaning my wheels one day, I noticed the rear wasn't square under the car. Centered, yes, but not square. From a rear view, the rear was shifted clockwise. I swapped to BMR adjustable LCA's & solved the problem. Had to have the frontend re aligned afterwards also but all is good now. Just something for all to keep in mind when buying your suspension parts..
