Spohn LCA brackets, which hole to use?

Since I lowered my car I got LCA relocation brackets from Spohn. There are two different holes to mount the lower control arms. Right now I'm using the upper hole and the LCAs are parallel to the ground. Would there be any advantages or disadvantages in using the lower hole? That would make the LCAs not parallel to the ground, but lower at the axle than at the frame.

Using the lower hole will give you a little more traction during launch, but I find it tends to make the car more prone to oversteering. My car isn't lowered though, which makes the angle on the lowest hole fairly steep.

I would say switch it to the bottom hole if you are still having problems with traction or hooking up off the line. If not, then I wouldn't worry about it to much.

Since you are lowered, I would try the bottom hole. If you don't like you can always change it.
