I may buy some adj. lowerer control arms from MM and I was wondering if I should get the ones with or without the sway bar mount. I"m looking to handle and corner. What would be the purpose or benifit to having a sway bar in the rear?? Im sure there is an easy anwser to this and I'm just not realizing it.

The sway bar helps keep the car level during cornering. Keep it. You might also consider looking into a panhard bar if you can swing the $$.

Not every car needs a rear sway bar. It's typical for a rear bar to loosen up the car somewhat (more oversteer). If the car handles fairly neutral, you might want to think it over. Also be on the look out for an adjustable bar, then you can better dial in what you need.

Will the panhard bar utilize the swaybar holes on those LCA?

Also, why will you pick the adjustable? I'm thinking about going with MM LCA's but I don't think I'll go with adjustable b/c my car is a dd and I don't really need to adjust it....unless I can be convinced otherwise.

Just get the ones w/ the mounting points. That way at least you have the option. The whole point of the sway bar is to better link the two sides of the suspension and keep it more level. Granted the stock swaybar isn't very stout, but it does make a difference. As far as the adjustable rear swaybar goes, its great because it will allow you to really dial in the amt of control you've got over the rear. For a daily driver though, I can't really justify it. (which is why I don't have one)

Good call on the Maximum Motorsports stuff....I've got a LOT of their parts on my car and I couldn't be happier with them. The only reason to get the adjustable LCA's is if you run larger tires on race days and need to lift the car up (or just want a rake on the whole thing).
