it doesnt "matter" if they are adjustable or not. just wont really need that feature. check out steedas line of chrome-moly LCA's, non-adjustable. then will still let you hook up tons better than those nasty stock lca's, but you wont have to worry about alignment or adjusting all the time. generaly you dont WANT adjustable lower control arms, they are a part that needs to be strong and ungiving to keep the rear-end down. the adj. LCA's let you adjust the camber (inward outward tilt at the top of the wheel) settings of the rear tires. not something you're really going to want to adjust unless you're running the track exsclusively. if its mostly daily driven, solid chrome-moly LCA's work great. and you'll notice the added grip on the track. if you're wanting some added help, get an adjustable panhard bar and a sturdier brace. again, not expensive, 185 and 90 dollars respectively. these allow you to adjust the "dogtracking" of your rear-end. a lot of times, the factory alignment of the rear means your wheelbase is slightly lower on one side, and higher on the other. this makes for awkward launches, and the rear end not in alignment with the front tires. you can see how this is not good. between those two and LCA's, you'd be set to launch well, keep the power to the ground, and have seemless driveability at the end of the night. just some thoughts.
Not true. You cannot adjust the camber on a solid axle.
Adjustable control arms are used for adjusting your pinion angle. This is important if you make certain other modifications, such as lowering the car or switching to a 1-piece driveshaft (such as an aluminum one).
However, you are correct in that if you don't need the adjustment, don't buy the adjustable control arms.
Heim joints (also called spherical bearings) are the stiffest type of end link available on control arms. This is good for racing, but it will be noisy and will give a rougher ride on the street. If your car is primarily a street driven car, then I'd suggest control arms with poly bushings or at most the "combo" type with a poly bushing in one end and a heim joint on the other.

ahahaha oops. forgetting new mustangs carry solid axles. okay, so that what they'd do in IRS. thanks for correcting me. that leads me to this question, why have Adj. LCA's for new mustangs? can it really do anything for ya now?
Adjsutable LCAs are used for adjusting the pinion angle.
You need to do this if you change the ride height of the car (lowering, for example) or if you change the pinion angle in other ways, such as using a 1-pc driveshaft.

+2 - As Al pointed out also the aluminum bushings are great for drag but you will feel the difference on the street which is why 99% of the aftermarket LCA's for the S197's come with eurethane bushings, i.e. steeda, BMR, etc. etc. If you are primarily on the street, one of these LCA's would be a better buy for you IMO.

Well, you can, but its not something you usually do on purpose You likely won't see any handling improvement after you have your car hoisted up from the bottom of the ravine you used to perform this "adjustment"

BTW - you can also use an adjustable upper control arm to accomplish this...
In fact, isn't that where most who bother do that adjustment do it? the LCAs are long and end where the car rotates (around the axle), so I would think you would only want to adjust the LCAs to re-center the tire in the wheel well (if indeed you even need to do that since the solid ones should be cut to right length assuming they are parallel to the ground).

^^^lol - true cekim. After re-reading your post I laughed at myself for not mentioning it. Yes, the upper is adjusted to alter pinion angle.
Hey, I spend most of my time on the other end of the car - so I don't claim any expertise in the bouncy parts
