Panhard rod

["Storhok, Eric (E.M.)" <estorhok@domain.elided>]

George,
Moving the rear roll center down is what the panhard rod is supposed to do, yes- that is the big point of it.

The revised torque reaction of the panhard rod is an added benefit.

Odd that you never had the inside right wheel spin problem...  I've gone through 2 sets of clutch plates now, and still get the wheel spin.  Its really aggravating when exiting a tight corner onto a long straight (ok that is REALLY relative in an autocross), but it cost me lots of time.

I keep going back and forth with the panhard rod on the GTV- keep is more stock, fix some problems....  Can't decide.

When you added the panhard rod, did you have to change spring rates all around?
