LCA's, and which hole on the Relocation Bracket
 
I'm at stock height right now, and got my relocation brackets installed. They are on the lower most hole of the relocation bracket. Does it make sense to keep them stock height till I lower the car? Any opinions would be apreciated as in reverse I get this MEAN wheel hop since they were isntalled

No one got any help on this topic :(

nope....the lower the setting, the better (the more angle you have, supposedly better traction you'll have) keep it on the lowest hole, even when you lower your car, the angle will be slightly advantageous over stock. i've got UMI brackes with lakewood LCAs on the lowest and its just fine.

I wouldn't worry about the reverse wheel hop, but if
you encounter brake hop that's a safety problem and
you'd want to back off to the upper hole. Otherwise,
just try not to launch in reverse ;)

Find a nice wide piece of asphalt where you can do
some hard stopping, and see.

i just installed some today and i am at stock height. So far i am very happy with them. haven't experienced the wheel hop as of yet

ya like said before lowest hole on either a stock or lowered car ;)

the lowest will give you maximum use out of relocation brackets.

I thought i was the only one with reverse wheel hop. I did notice the wheel hop in reverse but wasn't sure if it was wheel hop or if it came from the relocation brackets or other. I've had to brake in an emergency a few day ago and i got no wheel hop when I hit the brakes hard -stupid truck stopping in the entering lane then speeding up and I was not tailgaiting. I do have the rlb on my stock ride height car and on the lowest hole. And I did notice two things right away, I'll spin then then after I back out of the gas pedal and then hit it again I'll get traction unlike with rlb car grabs better. And on turns it made a good noticable difference I can grab turns and the car seem to keep pulling as where before it felt like it boged down on turns, but no no more. And a burnout on a turn is more mean sounding.
