Default Just lowered my car, what else do I need

I just put a set of Ford Racing springs on my car and lowered it 1.5"

I had the front end alignment done and they got it to within a 1/4 degree of perfect is what they told me.

What else do I need to do to insure even wear on the tires and possibly take a bit of the stiffness out of the ride now.

Also how does a panhard bar benefit me, and how easy is it to install one.

The panhard bar is what locates the rear axle side-to-side in the chassis. Most often if you buy an aftermarket one you get an adjustable one. This does two things:

1. Since it's adjustable you can properly center the rear end under the car.

2. The aftermarket panhard is stiffer than stock, which will help with traction/handling.
