it depends on what your car likes. too many variables. i have always liked the lowest hole for lowered car AND stock height cars. puts the rear in a loaded position.

my car is pulling the wheels and it does a 1.49 to 1.51 60's almost every time. i am using the bottom hole now,i just wanted some feedback if i was right or if the top hole was for better traction.

the relocation bracket holes shouldn't effect the TA or pinion angle

I've got UMI re loc brackets and use the bottom hole, zero wheel hop. I did however read somewhere that for some reason you were better off using the middle hole if you had no wheel hop, don't know why though.

Do you guys have to use any washers or spacers to get your LCA's to fit into the bracket's right. Because i have about a 1/8th in. gap between the braket and my LCA's. Just wondering what i can do. I have washers in there right now but that just doesn't seem right. Any suggestions

Perhaps I don't under stand your question, however washers at the LCA/ Reloc Bra interface will only shift the axle to the left or right side of the car. An adjustable panhard rod will do the same thing. After market LCA's may have to be shimmed.

the gap should close up when you tighten the bolt.
