Also, don't use the dual spherical bearing unless you have a much higher HP level. Go with the poly/spherical arm instead.

When cruising at idle i sometimes hear a FAINT creaking sound from the rear when going over uneven roads. The stock suspension and CA's probably made more squeaking sounds tho.

squares98, do you have this setup.. I'm curious how you know this is "alot noisier" configuration.

The reason that I'm asking is because I just put a set of Lakewood lift bars in place of the stock LCAs. AWESOME traction, but the car vibrates (ever so slightly) between 40 & 50 mph. I'm going to recheck wheel balance & pinion angle, but I 'm starting to wonder if maybe the vibration was there all the time - just masked by the stock LCA's rubber bushings.

Gotcha. My car has Zero vibration from the rear. I'd definately check what you have listed above.

Good luck

As you can see, there are several different opinions and that will probably confuse you more than help you.

I'd say call the pros at MM, Griggs and yes even Steeda and see what they suggest, I'll bet they will include a Panhard Bar in their suggestions for what you want and will tell you things that contradict many of the opinions stated here.
