If you lower the car the stock part will not work! Therefore, the minute you drop you should be getting the adjustable panhard rod. The LCAs are not necessary unless you need better traction due to wheel hop.

I tend to disagree. Not everyone needs the APHR. If you are running 275 rear tires you may not need it, some do. It will depend on your particular car and tire combo.

The ALCA is good if you need to move the rearend forward or backward to center the rear wheels. Sometimes people will weld in LCA relocation brackets and they might be a liitle off. They also help you to get a 4 wheel alignment so the the rear axle is indeed straight and not slightly cocked sideways. Most folks don't need them, though.
