They help with traction by lowering the rear of the lower control arms (anti-squat) and adjust for the addition of lowering springs

For best traction, shouldn't they be completely level?

Anywho, TTT for a good price.

with lowering springs and 2hole relo's its usually level

lower is better however.
it gives that "push" into the chassis to force the rearend down

I think v6 bird posted a video of lca relo's and a proper swaybar working... the rearend dropped on launch while the body stayed in place.

No...You want them to slope upward from the rear towards the front. This moves the instant center closer to the back of the car aiding in better bite. It will hit the tires much harder and plant them with an upward slope vs a level one.
