RE: lowering
If money is tight I would wait on the panhard bar and get the LCA's instead. I still have my stock panhard bar and I can't see a noticeable difference in the side to side alignment of the axle.

Eibach front alignment kit? Not sure what that consists of but it would probably save you alot of money to just get some camber bolts.

If I understand this correctly you should either use adjustable LCA's OR an LCA relocation bracket right? I don't fully understand the LCA arrangement yet but, I would assume that this is one-or-the-other not both, correct?
I ask because there is a BMR lowering package that includes springs, CA brackets (I assume they are LCA brackets), adj. PHR, camber bolts and upper strut mounts. I assumed you could use the brackets in lieu of new adj. LCA's.
This appears to be a cheap route to go because I know most of you guys would suggest Tokico's and new LCA's but, is this a good budget package?
Or...should I just buy all the components separately, buy Eibachs (instead of BMR) and add the Tokico's and LCA's (I'd also like to know what are the recommended LCA's)?

The LCA brackets and the LCAs are two totally different parts that do different jobs.
The LCA brackets are used for adjusting instant center.
The adjustable LCAs are used for adjusting pinion angle.
I am not sure why BMR doesn't include the adjustable LCAs (or an adjustable UCA--either works) in their lowering kit. In my opinion, it should be there.
This previous thread explains it all very well: https://mustangforums.com/m_2230421/tm.htm
My suggested lowering package:
Bare Essentials:
Springs: Your choice of Eibach Pro-Kit, Roush, FRPP, or Steeda "Lite"
Panhard Bar: Adjustable from either BMR or Spohn
LCAs: Poly-Rodend Combo type, adjustable. Either BMR or Spohn.
Camber Bolts (various sources)
Professional alignment job after the installation.
Optional but suggested:
LCA Relocation Brackets from BMR
Shocks: Toicko D-spec
*Panhard bar brace (also called panhard bar support), from BMR.
*(This has nothing to do with lowering per se. But, while your mechanic is down there installing everything else, have him throw this on. It will firm up your handling nicely, and the install is only a 5 min job while this other stuff is being done.

any suggestions on sites and manufactors of LCAs to go with?

Check out the Spohn line we carry. They are fantastic suspension components and reasonably priced. The use only quality rod ends as well while other companies use cheap ones that fail easily.
