Your answer is in the "General Suspension Issues/Questions FAQ" sticky:

That sticky is at the top of this section.

The way I have read and have had it explained to me, is its not needed unless I lower the car or put on a Big tire, something in the 28" range or bigger.

They also allow for better control of the rear end.

If you plan to do any kind of racing adjustable are better, you can set the tire exactly where it fits best, and once you raise or lower your car any the wheel is going to move in the wheel well.

I have c-moly with double adjustable rod ends and adjusting them is easy on the car and I also got the offset ones to allow room for a larger tire which you'll have to get if you plan to mini tub ever.
