As I understand it the MMC 5L rear suspension dispenses with the need for anti-tramp bars and the Panhard rod is built into the new geometry.

The sump clearance is better on the 3.7 Cyclobe engined cars , but it is still not great. It all depends on the type of roads you drive on. In Europe we are beset with traffic calming measures , speed bumps , sleeping policemen etc so it has become an essential mod . If you don't encounter these then it may be OK for you. It is always something you can fit later if you feel the need.
