Are adjusable lower control arms needed? I've looked through past threads, and i'm really not getting my answer... so...
Right now, all I have are BMR boxed subframes. I plan on lowering my car with the Eibach Prokit and switching the stock deCarbons to Bilsteins. I am also going with a Spohn adjustable panhard, lca brackets, and eventually their torque arm. I also plan on going with their lower control arms, but i'm unsure if I need to go with the adjustables or not. I don't really get much into autox anymore than about one or two events a year. I just want to hook up and get rid of the axle hop. Any help would be great!

"Adjustable" is a misnomer. Vendors use it as a marketing tool, more than anything.
Sure, you can screw in the rod ends to whatever length you want, making them "tachnically" adjustable. However, set them to the stock length, tighten and loctite the jam nut and leave them the hell alone!
You are paying for the more expensive rod ends, not necessarily adjustability.

Yup, just getting the rod ends = win 
Unless of course you get weld on reloc brackets and your welder fugs up the location of the bracket and your wheel isn't centered in the wheelwell.
