Default Back to stock springs

So the prev owner of my car lowered it and my Y pipe is sitting on the ground where I park so I'm thinking about putting stock springs back on because of this.. and the fact that it was lowered with some retarded ebay drop springs . Its got an aftemarket panhard bar of course... He also sold the ones that came on the car on ebay as well.. So... heres the question... What all needs to be changed in order to take it back to stock?

1) Re-adjust panhard bar to re-center rearend after raising
2) Get a front end alignment

That should pretty much be it. If you have lca relocation brackets, you might need to move the arms up one hole.
