Default Relocation brackets

Just put a set of BMR LCA and relocate brackets on my 97 TA. The car is not lowered, I noticed on the brackets that there are two sets of holes for the LCA. What set of holes do I use to bolt the control arms in, upper or lower?

top for 'neutral' braking/acceleration,bottom for launch traction.

I run lower all the time but braking and turning does suffer if only slightly, while greatly increasing straight line traction.

Indeed. Many people just run them on the lowest setting full time but some complain about binding or a reduction in handling/braking. Give it a shot, if you notice any compromises you dislike, run them higher up and just put them in the lowest setting at the track.
