I can't answer about the camber plates, but as far as the panhard bar goes, the answer is adjustable if you need to get one. Since its already lowered, you can check to see if your rear wheels are still centered laterally with respect to the body (i.e see if one sticks out more to one side than the other). If its not centered, you'll need a new panhard bar to correct it, and it's going to have to be adjustable. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that non-adjustable is probably the same length as stock which means it won't do squat for side-to-side alignment.
That said, the two best choices are made by Steeda and BMR Fabrication. I have the Steeda and its kind of a pain in the *** to adjust (adjustments are made at each end, one of which is obstructed by a bracket) and I had to use Locktite to keep it from loosening. Those two initial problems aside, its pretty solid, and I haven't had any problems since the initial install. The BMR offereing is much easier to adjust (ajustments made towards the middle of the bar) and I've never heard anything bad about it.

I just had more suspension work done on mine and also used the BMR adjustable panhard rod, Steeda bumpsteer kit and the camber kit.
I dont think you need the camber kit unless you add the bumpsteer kit.
But definitely get an adjustable panhard rod. mine was I think $185 through stangsuspension.

2005 Ford Mustang - Street/Race Adjustable Panhard Rod
Our tubular adjustable panhard rod is the finest on the market today. Manufactured from high strength 1.125" x .210" 6061-T6 aluminum, our ultra light panhard rod will eliminate unwanted flex and twist. The panhard rod will give you the competitive edge by keeping the rear axle located in the optimum position under the rear of the car. Thereby, dramatically improving cornering and overall handling predictability. The rod can be easily adjusted on the vehicle to compensate for ride height adjustments. Our panhard rod features machined wrench flats with left and right hand threads allowing fast and accurate adjustments while still on the vehicle.

After lowering you need to get the front end aligned. That will tell you if you need camber kit or not.

Sorry bro, I don't even know. The alignment shop ordered them and put them in when they did the alignment. I just got my old bolts back.
