Smile adjustable or not?

Is there a signifigant advantage of an adjustable panhard bar, and adjustable torque arm over he non-adjustables? From a drag racing perspective that is. Any info would be helpful, thanks

for a drag racer, youd efinitely want an adjustable torque arm... the adj. phr... it all depends on your car and what you want to do with it. Allow me to suggest the search button as there have been a lot of posts as of late on PHRs.

Question

Okay, but is there an overwhelming advantage of an adjustable torque arm, over a non-adjustable torque arm...?

It depends on how far you want to go with the car. An adjustable torque arm is how you adjust your pinion angle.

Are the adjustable suspension components any benefit to a low HP car, or would they really only be beneficial for high HP cars? I want to maximize my traction, but at the same time, my car will only be a 340 rwhp car on drag radials. I just don't see myself being able to figure out how to adjust the suspension to optimize it so that makes me want to go with the cheaper non-adjustable components.
