There is enough adjustment in the car suspension, so your tires will wear like stock

I wouldn't venture so far as to say you won't need them, you may or may not need them.

They make life easier when it comes time to align the car, they are more resilient than the factory arms, and not to mention you won't be paying someone to do the alignment twice when it could have been done the first time.

Hotchkiss makes a nice arm for daily driver setups, center adjustable with greaseable poly bushings at either end.
