If your car is loweredor you ever plan on lowering it the adjustable is a good idea cuz not every rear end sits perfect. The panhard will adj the rear end side to side and the control arms will adj it front to back so you can get the wheels centered in the wheel well

Hello
If the vehicle is lowered or is going to have a aftermarket rear in it. I would highly recommend going with a set of adjustable control arms not to only help center the rear under the vehicle but also takes any binding issues out of the vehicle as well. If you are going to keep the vehicle at stock ride height and it is going to be a daily driver you will be fine with non adjustable components with poly bushing or our NEW Roto Joint. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks

calling Sam is always good advice. But be prepared by knowing what you want from your car, what your not happy with now, and what your intended use for the car is. Sam will give you great advice for what you need to get the results YOU want. Others will jump in to say "We can sell you this". Sam is the man for learning what you really need.

From personal experience go adjustable always. You wont regret it, money or not. Now I have a set of LCAs and a panhard bar that prevent me from lowering/going 9 ". UMI all the way IMO!

if your going with a non-stock rear end, the answer to your original question should have been obvious.
