Question about the control arm relocation bracket

I got the bolt on BMR relocation brackets and I am wondering which hole to mount the control arm in in the rear? It has two holes one is higher than the other. Right now I have it in the lower hole. Does this affect ride hiedth? Also my car has not been lowered. does it affect traction if you have it in the top or bottom hole?

I just got done putting the weld-on versions on my car and have them in the lower hole. I have always heard the lowest one is the better one to use and it didn't affect my ride height either.

If you are looking for more traction from a stop you want the lower control arm in the lowest hole in the relocation brackets....

Use the lowest and only back off if you get brake hop on hard
stopping. Otherwise it's all bonus. But find a place to test for
brake hop safely just so it doesn't come as an inopportune
surprise later.
