Default Bought a Strange S60, do I need adjustable Panhard and LCAs?

Like the title says, would it be wise to get the adjustable ones? I would think my rearend would be centered just fine with the solid panhard in stock location. And is there any benefit with adjustable LCAs with the S60? I race at the track a lot but i'm not making huge power though.

Just need opinions before I buy the parts.
Thanks

It is not required. If you didnt get the adjustable brackets installed on the rear for adjustable LCA's then there is no point unless you lower the car or get an adjustable torque arm. I have both adjustable LCAs and Panhard both set to stock length and havent touched them. I just got them in case I needed them down the road.

I used all my non-adjustable stuff on my S60. My older G2 (LG Motorsports) torque arm had to be modified a little.

While it is not required, it's highly recommended. I say this because any aftermarket rearend may bolt in, but the holes are not going to be drilled in the exact locations. The result is that the rears can sit higher, lower, crooked, too far to one side, too far back, too close, etc. Sometimes they are spot on and sometimes they aren't. I always suggest going to an adjustable part because it gives you the room to grow. And, in the long run, ends up being cheaper than buying the same part twice.

Apparently you misunderstood me, I said I was going to buy suspension parts......My QUESTION was whether or not to buy adjustable pieces over non-adjustable....

I bought an adjustable panhard and non adjustable control arms but you don't NEED to. Im using the stock torque arm with a BMR adjustable relocation bracket and I still can't get my pinion angle where it needs to be so eventually I will need to get an adjustable torque arm.
