I need opinions/suggestions about BMR control arm relocation brackets :
there are 2 mounting holes for the LCA and the option changes the car istant gravity center .
In your opinion , which is better to use ?
Here I have a full setup in progress and we will go to align the car monday . The setup is totally BMR , including : springs , shocks , LCA , UCA , front A arms , panhard adj bar , front and rear swaybar , camber bolts , caster adj , last but not least : relocation brackets for LCAs .

What are your opinions about the use of these brackets ?
I attach a pic of them

For best performance for drag racing/launching, you want the rear of the LCA's to be slightly lower than the front. For all other applications such as autocross and road racing, you want the LCA's to be parallel to the ground. use whichever setting will set that up for you.

J&M recommends starting with the top hole. your alignment should not be affected by the choice of hole. you can switch between the two and be ok.

Thus the reason I didn't say it

Here's quite a bit of info about LCA's, brackets, and also pinion angle.

Unless you know you're going to be at the drag strip often I would set them level. The car gets DAMN squirrelly under heavy braking having the rear up and axle down.

I tried it both ways for a week, "just to see". I knew I wanted them setup level but I wanted to feel the difference.

I have mine on the second one, just like the pic. I am also at the track once a week. It works good there for me, just turned a new best 60' last night of 1.473
