The BMR PHR006 adjustable Panhard Rod replaces the factory Panhard rod on the Ford Mustang S197 and allows the rear axle to be precisely centred laterally underneath the vehicle. An adjustable Panhard rod is particularly important on a lowered Mustang. Lowering the vehicle changes the suspension geometry, causing the fixed-length factory Panhard rod to shift the rear axle sideways from its original position. The BMR PHR006 allows this offset to be corrected and the axle to be properly centred underneath the body. Strongly recommended when lowering your Mustang When lowering springs or coilovers are installed on an S197 Mustang, the lateral position of the rear axle should also be checked. Even a relatively moderate reduction in ride height can result in the rear axle no longer sitting perfectly centred underneath the vehicle. This can become visible when one rear wheel sits further out in the wheel arch than the other. The effect can be particularly noticeable with wide wheel and tyre combinations. The PHR006 features an on-car centre adjuster, allowing the length of the Panhard rod to be changed while it is installed. This makes it possible to precisely centre the rear axle underneath the body. Stronger than the factory Panhard rod The factory Panhard rod uses a relatively simple stamped-steel construction with soft rubber bushings. Under high loads, both the factory rod and its bushings can deflect. BMR manufactures the PHR006 from 1.25-inch DOM steel tubing with a 0.120-inch wall thickness. It also features TIG-welded chrome-moly tube adapters and a heavy-duty CNC-machined centre adjuster manufactured from 4130 chrome-moly steel. 95-durometer polyurethane bushings BMR uses greasable 95-durometer polyurethane bushings at both mounting points. They provide less deflection under load than the softer factory rubber bushings, helping to locate the rear axle more precisely. The bushings feature internal lubrication flutes designed to distribute grease evenly around the inner sleeve and towards the outer thrust surfaces.

The BMR TCA019 Lower Control Arms replace the factory rear lower control arms on the Ford Mustang S197. Their heavy-duty steel construction combined with greasable polyurethane bushings reduces control-arm and bushing deflection under high loads, providing more precise rear axle control. Particularly on high-performance and modified Mustangs, the rear control arms have to transfer considerable forces under acceleration. The factory stamped-steel arms and soft rubber bushings can deflect significantly under these loads. Schropp experience – particularly recommended for the GT500 Over the years, we have built and modified a large number of Mustang GT500s, giving us extensive experience with the suspension components used on these vehicles. Particularly on high-powered GT500s, the rear control arms and their bushings are components we pay close attention to. From our experience, worn or excessively compliant control-arm bushings can result in less precise rear axle location, with the vehicle becoming increasingly unsettled or imprecise during acceleration and load changes. The BMR TCA019 is therefore one of our preferred solutions when stable and durable rear axle control is required – particularly on modified GT500s, but equally on other S197 Mustang models. Polyurethane rather than a rigid motorsport joint We deliberately offer the version with polyurethane bushings. Solid or rod-end designs can provide an even more direct connection, but they can also transmit significantly more noise and vibration into the vehicle body. The greasable 95-durometer polyurethane bushings used in the TCA019 provide a good compromise: considerably less deflection than the soft factory rubber bushings without unnecessarily compromising the refinement of a predominantly road-driven Mustang with a rigid joint. Heavy-duty steel construction BMR manufactures the TCA019 from 1.25 × 2-inch boxed steel tubing. The assembly is TIG-welded and manufactured to the factory control-arm length, retaining the intended suspension geometry. The increased rigidity reduces control-arm deflection during hard acceleration and cornering loads. This allows the rear axle to be located more consistently and gives the vehicle a more repeatable response to throttle and steering inputs. Greasable polyurethane bushings The internally fluted polyurethane bushings are greasable. Their lubrication channels distribute grease around the inner sleeve and towards the outer thrust surfaces, allowing the bushings to remain properly lubricated.

The Eibach Pro-Kit E10-35-008-01-22 is designed for Mustang owners who want to give their Ford Mustang S197 a sportier ride height without replacing the complete suspension. The vehicle-specific springs are combined with the existing dampers and lower the vehicle by approximately 25 mm at the front and 30 mm at the rear. By lowering the vehicle's centre of gravity, the Pro-Kit not only gives the Mustang a sportier appearance. Its progressive spring characteristics are also designed to provide more direct handling while retaining good everyday usability. Sporty lowering The Eibach Pro-Kit lowers the vehicle compared with the standard suspension by approximately: Front axle: 25 mm Rear axle: 30 mm This reduces the visual gap between the tyres and wheel arches and gives the Mustang a noticeably sportier stance. Progressive spring characteristics The Eibach Pro-Kit springs feature progressive spring characteristics. The springs are developed specifically for the vehicle and designed for use with suitable factory and aftermarket dampers. Lowering the vehicle reduces its centre of gravity and can reduce body movement during acceleration, braking and cornering.
