such is the nature of a lowered FC...
my recommendation- get the individual adjusters only, then go get your alignment. fair warning, they will poke a hole in the bottom of your storage bin (not a big deal really). if you manage to max out these adjusters, then buy a center bar. it shouldnt happen tho- the indiv adjusters have a pretty decent range.

binding is only an issue w/ the indivs if you have poly control arm bushings. stock is fine, but if you wanna upgrade, go spherical bearing (another 220 bucks)

also, if this is just a street car without too much power, i wouldnt bother with the control arm bushings/bearings. they only deflect under hard acceleration, and would only really be noticable on sticky tires with a good amount of force (ie, slicks and lots of power).
when it does deflect, it will just toe in, essentially giving you more stability.
thats probably the last part i would throw at the rear suspension.
