Default LCA Settings (center of gravity)

I have the BMR Tubular LCA's, bolt on Relocation bracket, BMR Adj TQ Arm, BMR Adj Panhard Rod, MAC lowering Springs, Bilseins, and Kenny Brown DD SFC's.

My question is, how much of an effect on the center of gravity does the LCA setting have on the different settings? And how does it apply?

I had mine on the bottom holes and it would get loose under hard acceleration at 45mph after installing the cam.
Now the other day I put them back in the upper hole and it seems to hook better and spin less. I always did better at the track with the higher setting anyway.

I found the same thing you did. At the lower setting, my rear would slide out much easier going around corners. I never tried a straight line comparison because I want it to handle well. I have them in the upper holes.

Its not the center of gravity that you are changing. You are affecting the "Instant Center". The lower hole will move the instant Center rearward and up in comparison to the higher holes. This will create more bite in a straight line.
