Lowering my camaro..

I am lowering my camaro with 1.5" lowering springs from the stock stance and was wondering if a front and rear sway bar would be worth buying and if it would help with the handling that much??

Yes it will....more so than the springs. Money well spent for sure.

may want to look at an adjustable panhard... the rear end may end up being off center

^ While your at it put some adjustable control arm brackets on.....or you WILL lose traction due to altering the angle of the control arms by lowering it.

Lowering springs and sway bars will really give the car a much better feel and allow it to handle much better that with the stock stuff.. Like previously said, I would recommend doing an adjustable panhard bar which will allow you to center up the rear end. I would also recommend lower control arm relocation brackets which will fix the lower control arm angle after the car has been lowered. It will also help with traction and straight line performance. You can't go wrong with with lowering springs and sway bars.

Well i bought lower control arms and a panhard bar but none of it is adjustable so should i stick with just putting the lower control arms on instead of messing with the springs??

Buy lower control arm relocation brackets "(bolt on style)" since you didn't buy the right ****, or your pissing in the wind with the wheel hop you"ll experience.
