Just like the title states, will I really need DA upper control arms? My car will be lowered 2 inches all the way around with either 18's or 20's on it. I would like to have them, but i don't really need them, I can spend that money elsewhere. I will be getting new ones, question is adjustable or not? Any input/advice on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Adjustable upper control arms are used to help set pinion angle. Pinion angle is important to help keep your drive line in line and to keep stuff from binding.. I'm by all means no expert and hopefully someone else will chime in. but I say that yes if you do plan on lowering your car a few inches you will need them.

Another option you have is to lower your car and see what the pinion angle ends up being. If it's too far out for your liking, you can then add the DA's.

Most cars when lowered or with aftermarket rears will benefit from DA's.

and get ones with the roto joint or a spherical joint so you won't have a binding issue
