Adjustable is generally not needed. The only functions of the adjustable LCA would be to move the wheel backward and forward in the wheel opening, and to align the rear axle assembly if for some reason it was not perfectly perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the car.

I used mine to move the axle back about 1/4" to gain some clearance to the front, metal edges of the quarter panel, running 28" slicks.

When i bought mine, everyone said just get the non-adjustables. Now since i have traction woes with 26" ET streets, im wanting to move up to 28" tires. However, they wont fit because the tire hits the rear of the wheel well. Go adjustable, im switching mine out as soon as i get some money.
