Question Relocation brackets, what hole....

I need to know what hole to use on the relocation brackets. I didnt lower the car the normal way, i did it with the added speaker box and amp and what ever other junk i have back there. I do need the brackets since the car sits 1" lower with that stuff and the end of the controll arms(on the rear) are higher than the front mounting point. Next thing i do know that you want to pick the hole that will make them level to the ground, MY QUESTION REALL IS WOULD IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO TRACTION IF IT WAS A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE FRONT OR DO THE BEST RESULTS COME WITH A CONTROLL ARM THAT IS LEVEL... thanx

My feelings are the arm should point downward, a little bit, not dramatically, since my understanding is the arm should not twist/flex past horizontal for best traction . . .

I say the lowest one! That'll make it bite the hardest That sets your pinion angle just right! Just my opinion

I have tried both and the lower seems to do the best for me.
