No you don't need an adjustable Pan Hard, that is only really necessary when you get wider tires to center the rear end. Although the PHR is cheap I would recommned getting one anyways

well .. in reality when u lower ur car, due to the design of ur panhard rod (upper and lower), ur body will shift to one side (cant remember if its right or left) on the rear axel .. so to center the body on the rear suspension, yes u'll need a adjustable PHR ...

this is only a cosmetic thing though .. it doesnt really affect much

I believe it shifts to the right. The panhard mounts on the axle on the left and the body on the right, so the body gets pushed to the right.

my exhaust hangs lowest on my car, I used to scrape it on every speed bump. Once I even ripped the cat off the y-pipe going over a ledge.

However my exhaust wasn't exactly mounted 100% properly, and my car was lowered 1.5"

You wouldn't have a problem with bilsteins unless you went too low with the springs - and I think the inch drop is with Eibach Pros as well (with Bilsteins that is). If you only lower things an inch, you don't need an adj. PHB.
