recently installed the frpp handling pkg, includes sway bars, lowering springs, dampers and hood strut...after it was installed i noticed that the space between the wheels is not even on both sides on the front and a bit less on the rear, meaning on the driver side the front wheels comes more out and on the passanger it is more inside about half an inch or a bit more difference and a bit less in the rear wheels, i was told its the way the body was built and it was like that before the sway bars were changed to bigger ones and since it passed alignment, it is not a problem in terms or driving or causing any damage to te car or tires or wheels, did anyone experience that or knows what can be doe to fix this they say pretty muc nothing can be done. thanks for your input

they actaully told me that a panhard bar will not fix it and they showed me another mustang they did the package on that had a worse offset on the wheels...
i just hope that its noly something that is bugging me in the eyes more then an issue that needs to be fixed. any other ideas?

The Panhard bar swings in an arch from the right side of the frame to the left side of the axle. When the car gets lowered, the movement of the arch changed the side to side position of the rear axle. You can still have a perpendicular thrust angel, and the effect on alignment etc. will be negligible. For appearance, an adjustable Panhard bar can center the rear axle under the body.
The front wheels should not be affected side to side by lowering. That is a problem I would look into.

You will need an adjustable panhard bar to center the rear after lowering, or even raising the car (I know no one does this). It is mostly for cosmetic reasons.
If you are a road corse racer or avide autocrosser you will need the adjustable panhard bar. you want every 100th you can get.
hey 5tewnty, was your front off as well or just the rear?? thanks for all the comments, im gonna look into the bmr adjustable panhard bar since it helped one person here with the same issue and the same handling pkg, will check back with the installers about the front since i also didnt feel that it was supposed to be affected, please tell me of more simular expereince you may have had, lol i hate feeling like things only happen to my car...

Also consider the CHE adjustable panhard rod (http://www.cheperformance.com/). Good stuff and no grease fittings! I just recently purchased the LCAs (still waiting for 'em).

Mine was off in the rear after I lowered mine (1.25" f; 1.75" r). A Steeda adj. Panhard bar put it back dead center. It's also worth putting in the Panhard bar brace (Steeda has a good one) at the same time. Their brace is much stronger than the flimsy stock one.
After lowering, however, I needed to adjust camber in the front, but did not have a problem with side to side offset.
