Lower Controls arms.
Ok my first question is.
Lower Control Arms = Rear Trailing arms?
My second qustion is.
Is this a good set-up?
I have:
Eibach pro kit,
BMR LCA.
I should get:
LCA relocation,
Tokico D-Spec,
UCA,
Adj. Panhard bar..
What else? I should get rid of my BMR LCA and get some adj. LCA's? or is there another way?
My BMR's are unused. they are in my closet.

You have basically what I have with the exception my LCA's are adjustable and I don't have an UCA. The lowering may cause you to adjust your pinion angle just a little bit. Mine was off by one degree so i adjusted it.
You may need camber bolts and should have had your alignment done too.

After the relo brackets are installed and everything is bolted back up, make sure that the rear axle is square in the chassis. It might be possible to determine this on your own, with some difficulty. But itshould absolutely be part of the alignment printout, so make sure that it's there (it's called "thrust angle", and should be zero or very close) and that if it needs to be tweaked let them know that you'll be getting adjustable LCAs so that it can be corrected.
Don't accept answers like "they all come like that" because that's just to brush you off so they can call the job "done" and get another car in the bay. Errors and tolerances in things like bracket holes, bracket shape, OE bracket tolerances, and plain old installation sloppiness (I hope not on the last one, but poo does happen from time to time). These thingscan generate a need for adjustable LCAs just to square up the axle.

Best sort of place would be a shop that deals with racing, at least on the side. Or privately, with a tech who's familiar with doing what's still relatively uncommon work. It's not that a decent alignment tech is any shop couldn't do this, just that it would be a little outside what most are accustomed to doing.
IMO, if/when you're at the point where you can reliably measure axle "squareness", you can do it yourself. It's the measuring that's the tough part, not the adjusting.
