[QUOTE="Sky Render, post: 13959640, member: 126742"] The lateral deflection of a good panhard bar with stiff bushings or rod-ends is less than an eighth of an inch. In fact, compressing and uncompressing the suspension by 2" either way produces only 0.1" of total lateral deflection (0.050" in one direction during 2" of compression). Two inches of compression or decompression is much more than what you will get during even the hardest cornering on an autocross or road course. You can't simply go by the large amount of lateral deflection that occurs when the car is up in the air with the suspension unloaded, because that simply won't happen when you're driving the car unless you're doing some serious Dukes of Hazard shit. Much of the benefit of a Watts link is due to the roll center. No one has ever done a back-to-back comparison of a Watts link with a truly adjustable panhard bar that has adjustable roll center, such as Steeda's competition unit. [/QUOTE]
