Wow... where to begin. First cutting the springs makes them stiffer... so if you cut them an inch, then you didn't lower the car an inch 'cause they don't sag as far 'cause they are stiffer.
Cutting springs also requires you cut them exactly the same... assuming that they started out the same. Or if they started out different and you cut them different, they could end up the same... or you could end up EVIL.
Lowering the rear without making appropriate changes to the front can also make it EVIL. With a lower and stiffer rear, the roll center is moved in the rear, but not in the front. EEEVIL
I could go on, but I think you get the idea. Call the Opel GT Source and get springs & sway bars, both front and rear and you will have a balanced car.
And since you mentioned an adjustable panhard bar... I have just finished a "kit" late this afternoon for the rear suspension trailing arms, and panhard bar. Here's a pic
