I am going to use eibach pro-kit springs and blistien shocks on my car to make it ride alittle better. Will i neeed an ajustable pan hard bar, and is it worth replaceing the rear control arms?

Yes you will need an adjustable panhard if your car is lowered to center the rear end. Plus they arent that expensive and stronger over stock. BMR makes great panhards and Lower control arms.

I lowered my car with the sportline kit and had no centering problems...maybe i was lucky. I didnt go for the pro kit because i knew id get used to the look and later wish it was lower. Im very happy with the SLs, you should consider them, they give the car a nice...mean look.

How do you measure to see if the rear wheels are centered, and if i do lower the car will it still ride like a rock?

when u lower the car the control angle changes and to get the traction back u have to center the arm again,thats what the brackets do.
