Default Control Arms

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out whether or not I want to shell out the $ for adjustable upper and lower control arms. For those of you that have control arms, are yours adjustable? If I plan on lowering the rear end in the future, would the control arms have to be adjustable? Just trying to get some facts together before purchasing

Thanks!

i could be wrong but from what i understand unless you're building an all out drag car, you dont NEED adjustable upper control arms. I'm getting adjustable lowers though so i can make the back end sit exactly how i want, but thats pretty much the only reason im buying them. (as opposed to the regular ones)

Get rid of your upper control arms and get a MM Torque Arm

I'm guessing that b/c of that lack of responses, and because I'm not building an all out drag car, that I should go with the non-adjustable control arms

That is, unless, someone can confirm otherwise...

you can go with adjustables, they just cost more money. I'm getting adjustable lowers and solid uppers.
