Default Lowered 30mm my f-body, need arm relocation brackets?

Hello, I lowered my 95 Firebird about 25-30mm, do I need to put lower arm relocation brackets? (Im keeping original lower control arms) Also, I see lower arm relocation brackets have three positions, wich would I use? How do I know which is the correct arm angle?

Thank you very much.

If you begin to have issues with excessive wheel hop then yes relocation brackets would be a suggested solution for you. For street driving you will want the lower control arms to be as close to level with the ground as possible. On most relocation brackets, like ours, the top position will get you to this point. Lower positions will give you a more aggressive angle and increase the anti-squat percentage

Thank you now I understand! Ahd by the way....wich would be the cons of having that more agressive angle? The suspension would feel more hard?

LCA relocation does not change the hardness/softness of the suspension,that is controlled by the springs and shocks. A more aggressive angle helps prevent and increase traction during those 'spirited' hard launches.
