Default need a some help?

Want to lower my car with dms springs but do i have to get a stronger panhard bar as soon as i lower the car?

And will i have to get the relocation brackets as well and will this help my times out at the track as well?

Thanks Guys

First IMO I think lowering these cars is not a great idea for street use ( you will scrape everwhere) and it usually hurts drag strip performance. That being said I would definitely get an adjustable PHR before you lower it. That way you can align the rear end properly if lowering it misaligns it. Sometimes this is not necessary but on my last f-body that I had eibachs on I had to get one. If you want it to handle better I would recommend SFCs, torque arm, LCAs/PHR, and better shocks/sway bars. If you want to lower it for the look then I guess you don't have many other options. Just my thoughts, FWIW!
