Other than for aesthetic reasons, are they THAT much better that the stocker?

To me the only thing worth more is the fact it is from a GNX.  

Again, to me it would only end up being an expensive piece of nostalagia that would never get used (like  a lot of parts on my shelves in the garage  :bigeyes; ).  Now that I think about it, I should go work on my car and spend less time goofing off on the computer.   :yawinkle:

I think that probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen is the back end of a GNX rising up like a fucking stink bug when it does a burnout.

The GNX, of course...stink bugs don't do burnouts.

I wondered if a panhard rod system launches straighter or something over the standard set up.

Definitely looks cool.

The panhard bars only keep the rearend centred. The torque arm controls pinion angle and helps plant the rearend more that the factory 4-link did.

This setup provided little improvement in handling, most of that was seen in the tire/wheel combo.

But, yes. I would throw this under my car anyway... and then beat the shit out of it.
