Dropping.....

Ok I was thinking of going with the BMR springs that drop our cars 1.5 inches. I was wondering if there were anything else I would need (adjustable panhard rod) or whether that could wait a couple months for some extra cash? Can anyone comment on BMR's springs versus Eibachs?
Thanks for the help.

When I dropped my 82 1.5 inches, I didn't get the adjustable panhard bar and the rear end sits about .25 inches off center. Nobody has said anything about it and I think it looks just fine. It's been that way for about 4 years. It's not a serious problem.

Er, I've done the opposite, I've raised the back of my car. I also didn't get the adjustable panhard rod; I haven't felt any adverse effects while cornering, and the tires aren't rubbing or wearing funny.
