Default Torque Arm, RCB, and PHB

Was looking into all of these for my car since I lowered it. What are the main advantages for an adjustable PHB and Torque arm? Benefit to a play car that MIGHT see some track time here and there?What ones are you guys running and how do you like it?Anyone tell a difference with adjustments made?Kinda a motor head, but the suspension thing isnt the most fresh with me. Thanks

My post from another thread about adjustable LCA and PHB:

That being said....
I have stock right height, but I do have adjustable Spohn rod/poly PHB and LCAs. They allow for the adjustment of the rear axle in all horizontal directions (left, right, forward back, diagonally). My rear was a bit off with the stock parts and is all straight now with the adjustables (adjusted by the mechanic during an alignment...you have to ask for it and may need to convince them to do it).
Here are a few threads on the subject:

I dont know much about adjustable Tourque Arm. I think its for adjusting the pinion angle.
