Depends on how low you want to go, a 30mm drop is about the maximum I'd be willing to test it.

You will need a panhard rod regardless of weather you lower the car or not.

If you lower the car you will need a shorter panhard rod.
Buy an adjustable one, then if you change the ride height again you can adjust it accordingly.

you dont really need it but its a good idea, just be prepared for a little tyre scraping when the car is loaded up. as when car is lowered the rear axle becomes a little skewed. panhard rod just fixes that up.
i had my car lowered 35mm and had no panhard rod i just got some tyre scrapage on edge of tyre if the car was heavily loaded up.

^^ he is right as when you lower it the suspension geometry WILL be out.
