Exclamation lowering car without adjustible suspension

i was wondering if i could lower my car without adjustible suspension. when i bought the car it already had founders panhard bar and lower control arms but they are non adjustible. will i be ok when i go to lower or would i need adjustible parts first?

Are you sure the panhard rod isn't adjustable? I have found that is really all you may need when lowering and its To help center up the rear. I believe all aftermarket PHR are adjustable.

adjustable PHB is def recommended to help re-center the rear end under the car, although its isnt necessarily required, I'd try to get one. If anything running the one you have MAY cause your tires to wear unevenly or differently than they should, but if everything is aligned then I dont think it'd really be an issue, but your car still won't be centered. You can get an adjustable one from founders pretty cheap, so I would. Adjustable LCA's arent necessary for a lowered car, but if you have wheel hop maybe look into some relocation brackets for them.
