what other parts are needed after lowering a car?
I will be lowering my car in the next month or so. My question is, what parts will be required to maintain good suspension geometry. Will I need to get an adjustable panhard bar, adj ta, etc?

dont necessarily need the TA..... lower control arm relocation brackets, adj panhard bar........ maybe some subframe connectors for less chassis flex... and most go with some aftermarket shocks to handle the springs they get

i'd say panhard bar (to keep the rear centered) and lower control arm relocation brackets (correct lower control arm geometry to reduce traction lost).
but if you get the relocation brackets, you lose that nice roll oversteer. i miss my roll oversteer, but i love the re-gained traction.
if you want the car to handle better, sub frame connectors will reduce the chassis flex. i'm sure upgraded lower control arms do something too, but whatever that is - i take for granted now.
i think some of the aftermarket torque arms have problems that require 'adjustments' for clearance after lowering.

So when you guys are saying that the rear will be off center, do you mean that it will actually be more left or right, or that it will b ean issue similar to an alignment problem?

The rear will shift more to the right the lower the suspension travels. An adj PHB will correct this. If your car is primarily a corner carver, leave off the LCA relo brackets. If its a 1/4 mile car, get them.
