Default Is an Adj. PHR Required for Lowered Cars?

Is an adjustable PHR needed when lowering the car or for alingment? I am wondering if I need to order one for when I lower the car. Thanks

[EDIT]: I think I found my answer (yes, it is required), or am I wrong....

It depends, some cases you may or may not. It def wont hurt to have it, ecspecially if your suspension mods change in the future. The reason for the Ad. PHB is to center the rear end under the car. Most of the time when a car is lowered the rear shifts to one side (mine was the driver side). The bar can be shortened or lengthen to correct this. Can also be helpful when running wider tires/slicks if there is clearance/rubbing issues.

My car needs one, but my dad's car doesn't and we have the same suspension mods. It'll just be your luck but is nice to have for other situations like 2w0s060 mentioned.

My rear is 3/32" off center after DMS springs w/o the spring isolators. Not much to worry about unless you are planning in running 10" or greater wheels.
