      What hole would a lowered car like mine use? Need to get mine in next weekend.

        More than likely the bottom hole. You really need to get an angle finder on it tho. Like Larry said 0-4 is ideal. It has more to do with instant center than anything. The more angle you have on the LCA the further back your moving the instant center.

            which way do you consider negative?

              the angle is such that it will want to squat under throttle. the chasis end is lower than the axle end.

                I added them to mine on my lowered car (strano suspension) along with tubular LCAs and gained wheel hop... thinking I need to move them up to the higher hole

                  I also think a torque arm is a pre-req to this mod unless you are doing it to compensate for a drop kit. I have a set or reloc brackets sitting on the shelf, I dont plan on installing them until the torque arm is in.

                    If you remember, mine is on the top hole... its the same angle it was at stock height, which if you look under my car. it has a slight angle, when i sit in it its mostly likley level. Check your current angle, it should be level or slope slightly downward to your axle.

                      Just put my car on much more level ground. Had my dad sit in it. It was reading 5* unloaded, and 4* with him in it.

                        I installed myn with the new torque arm it made a very large improvement in traction . Im using the bottom hole I also have a 1 3/4 inch drop . And I also added more gear and still gained more traction.

                          Made it to the track today.

                          Had a best 60' of 1.77 best before was 1.89
                          Also found out my rims are spinning about 1.5" inside the tire each run

                          On a side note, my dad got his new best 60' too.
