Default I just want to drop 1-1.5 in the rear...

So, I know I need an adjustable panhard bar to re-allign the axle is there anything else needed to lower the rear of my car?
Cheers

new shocks/struts are good
Adjustable LCAs
LCA relocation

that should do it.

here is some good reading

Here is Tacobills explanation with pics of the steeda ultralites install!https://mustangforums.com/m_3070963/tm.htmVery easy to do the rears and the only thing you will need first is the adj panhard bar if the rear axle is not centered and if you dont plan on drag racing or street racing seriously. I will eventually be switching out the whole rear suspension but right now I have the ultralites in the rear only and plan on installing the panhard bar, the lca's, and the rear sway bar after the S/C install. I want to hook better off the line and that whipple has alot of low end torque from 1800 rpms on up! The rear remained centered even with 20x10 tires.

Roush rear springs only for a year with no problems what so ever.
Since that year is up Ive added a few rear suspension mods. Because its addicting!

I did one spring at a time checked alignment and all was fine.
Even after I installed panhard and LCA's alignment was still in specs, but not perfect to the T.
It is now though. Helps having an Alignment rack/machine in your shop.

Pardon my ignorance as this is the first solid rear axle car I've had but what does the panhard and the LCA's add with just the roush rear springs. I'm going to search too but hopefully someone will give a quick explanation here as well.

Nevermind I found it.
