Adjustable or non-adjustable LCA?

I was given a set of poly/rod adjustable lower control arms from a friend of mine that need to be reconditioned and powdercoated but would be brand new for less than the cost of new. I was planning to use roto joints on the rod end side and just new poly bushings on the other but yesterday I found a set of silver BMR arms that are poly/poly that have been in the basement for years brand new. Them being silver shows how long I have had them lol.
Car is in sig and in the process of getting a Huron Speed turbo kit and related parts installed. Future rear tire plans are probably 325/50/15s so I am not sure if the adjustability of the arms is important for that or not?

You will be fine with non-adjustable as long as you are not lowered more than 1.5" or running a tire larger than 28" if you have the stock rear end. If you have an aftermarket rear (12 bolt, 9inch etc) then the adjustables may not be a bad idea to make up for any variations in mounting locations of the brackets on the aftermarket rear.

This is definitely unusual because as long as the mounting points use the same parts (poly bushings, rod end, etc, etc) there should be no difference in noise or ride quality between the adjustable and non-adjustable LCAs.
