Getting lowering springs,,,do I need other stuff??

I should be getting my pro kit lowering springs tomorrow. I just did a seach on it and from reading I've learned that I may end up needing other stuff as well, like a panhard rod, torque arm, LCA's and relocation brackets. What I wanna know is, is any of this stuff absolutely necessary if the springs only lower it about an inch as advertised? And if so, can I get away with buying just the brackets for now? Will the stock LCA's fit in them? I'm thinking of going with the BMR bolt in set, and then get it welded. thanks.

you dont really NEED any of the parts...its just suggested. As for the Relocation brackets thats to correct the angle of the LCA. WIth only teh prokit...you dont really need the relocation brackets. It doesnt really change it all that much. You dont need any of the parts to drop the car the advertised 1". More so though I suggest the adjustible panhard bar. Cause even with only the 1" drop your gonna notice that the rear end is gonna sit alittle off.

Ok cool. I guess I'll have to drive the car and see if I experience any problems after I install the springs. If I do then I'll have to get the other stuff. What would be the most popular choice for panhard rod for a third gen?

Get an adjustable from Spohn, BMR, or one that the sponsors sell. Help the people that help us. I have a BMR adjustable poly/poly on my cars.

I have the pro kit on my car, when I first put it on it made my car wheel hop like crazy so I bought the spohn relocation brackets and adjustable control arms with the poly/poly combo and it doesnt wheel hop anymore.
