Dropping the rear

Dropping the rear
I have read most of the posts on lowering the rear of our cars. All I want to do is drop it about 1 " NOW... as other members have posted, I want the ROUSH rear springs that lower it 1" but I have not seen a comment on Pan Hard Bars.
Some installs say yes you need to replace the Pan Hard Bar to realign rear after the drop, others say no. I suspect that if it is dropped more than say 1", this will change angles of the suspension and Pan Hard is warranted, but if you drop it as little as I or others want I may not need it?
Right now budgert is an Issue. If I can just get the Springs and replace them OK, but if I need the Pan Hard Bar ( Adjustable to square off rear end) then this blows my budget. Has anyone done the 1" drop? Has anyone replaced the factory pan hard for an adjustable one for this amount ( 1 inch) of drop? Has it been an Issue with this slight height drop?
Where I was going to buy the springs, they have an online help and when I asked them on the Roush Springs, they said I DO need the adj. Pan Hard but I was really leary that they wanted to sell one seeings I did not know. So If anyone has done the ROUSH Springs I sure could use some straight answers. Thanks!

RE: Dropping the rear
Did you talk to Roush? They are gonna want you to buy more parts.
I say check after you lower. I have the Roush (3/4") front and back and have no issues.

RE: Dropping the rear
Thank you all for the answers I was looking for.
Margarita Girl thanks for the link! Quick question, I love the bar on the headlights and I want to do them too, but does it screw up the lighting much?
