roush drop
You dont even HAVE to get new shocks the drop isnt significant enough. I am running the stock shocks on my eibach pro kit and it feels and handles fine. I figure they will wear out faster but thats fine, not hard to change. If you want to do it all at once then that is probably a good idea. You dont need new LCAs or a new UCA or panhard bar. The rearend might be out to one side like half an inch but it wont matter unless it really bugs you. Just make sure you get it aligned after you lower it. If you get new shocks and springs in at the same time, wait a week then get it aligned so everything can settle.

tire to fender gap comparison from side to side
The OEM panhard bar is at a 2 degree angle to the axle
tubes at stock rear end height.
It is 42" long. Go back to the days of good ol geometery
and do the math. A 1" drop only works out the about 1/4",
if that, of sideways movement. A 1/2" sideways movement
of the rear axle during 1" of spring compression would cause
all sorts of handling problems.
An adjustable panhard bar is optional.

Nope, no problem unless you have 10" wide rims wrapped in 295s or such.
From your sig it looks to be OEM painted fanblades on there now?
The rear end is not centered on the OEM stang as well as we would like it
to be from the factory. The side shift from a 3/4 - 1" drop is not noticable.
If you can notice it, its time for an adjustable panhard bar. I just used the
lead shot filled OEM panhrad bar and replaced the OEM rubber bushings with
Prothane Poly bushings.
