Default Control Arms - Adjustable better? Opinions?

Hey guys, I have bought a set of lowering springs and got a new set of KYB's on the way.
I am going to swap out the UCA's / LCA's while I am doing the back springs.
I have searched the threads but am still not sure from the posts if there is a benefit to getting adjustable CA's or the non adjustable type.

Can anyone who did the swap let me know what they have and how the handling is?

I appreciate any help you can give me because this is an install that I do not want to do twice.

+2 non-adj. unless you're going to the track and need to adjust it for slicks, etc...


GMS seem decent, I have em and no problems yet...

Adjustables will give you way more of a bite than non-adj. My boy can turn his all the way up and spin like crazy or turn them all the way down and not be able to peel out. He has an auto with 4:10's with a worked auto and street slicks!

quite some, I havent been able to make it to a track yet, but I can tell that street launches are a bit harder. I'm spinning less in 1st and now chirping 2nd..

Street I laucnh 3-3.5k, feather (not dump) the clutch, then quick shift the rest. Shifting at 5600 rpms (approx peak of the power curve)
