So FR is 1.25 and no panhard bar needed or do you and Eibach is 1.0 drop and no panhard bar?

You need a panhard bar or watts link with ANY spring drop. Don't let anyone tell you different

Can I also ask from your mods what is your rear camera setup and what is front splitter curb alert?

My rear camera set up is by nav-tv. Thats the lockpick that uses the OEM interface so it works exactly like the OEM ford camera does. My actual camer is attached to a license plate full of infared lights around it for night time which I also got from nav-tv. It takes about an hour to install maybe hour and half tops. Its super easy to do.

The front splitter curb alert is sold by americanmuscle. It essentially attaches anywhere you can find a place for me I did it on the back of the OEM splitter. Or on a 13 you could even put it inside the lower grill since everything is open. It bolts on, no drilling or anything like that needed. You can set it to make a noise from 7-14 inches. Basically when your splitter reaches the distance from any object whether its from above,below, or ahead it will beep 3 times to tell you to stop. That way you never will mess up your splitter.And the wiring can be attached to the battery or the 12v in the car. I used the thing in the car for a more OEM look.

And the best part is neither of these can void your warranty in any way.

Unless, for some inexplicable reason a person has removed it, why would any car NOT have the Panhard bar it came with?

You need an "adjustable" panhard bar.  Lowering it pushes the rear end out to the side if you don't shorten the rod.  Stock is non adjustable.

Only beyond certain tolerances - like the need for a bump steer kit.

Good grief.  I hope the NAV-TV cameras are good - given their price.  They also seem to have a Lockpick equivalent that's nearly twice the price of Coastal's.  WOW!.

Seems but just started looking for best option. Sometimnes you can't help price.

Coastal electronics is a ghetto manufactuer and their shit can fry and destroy you entire interface. It's happen many times before with their products. Also nav-tv has much better customer service and has been doing this for longer. Again yes its twice the price but its also twice the quality.

Believe me I didn't want to pay that much for this either.

I got a discount on my nav-tv set up. I think the retail is like 400 and I paid around 320. Coastal electronics is around 250 I believe now. So actually its not so bad. And you get twice the quality.

Odd.  The SYNC Lockpicks I bought when Coastal was the only game in town always seemed decently made and functioned perfectly - just as PnP as advertised.

It's a rather narrow market to support two unique hardware designs.  I'd be surprised if they didn't come off the same dock in Shenzen.

Nav-tv works with OEM companies so their stuff is better. Thats why they don't void OEM warranties either. They are OEM approved or something like that.

An "OEM approved" defeat for nav systems' safety lockouts?

Well there are different ways to set it. Right now mine is set with the safety stuff intack. And I think when they say OEM approve they mean in the sense that it won't cause electrical problems to your car.
