Whats the proper angle for a lower control arm on a relocatioon n bracket? I've been told parallel with ground and I've heard slight angle upwards from front of car by different members on here....who's right?

There is more to it than just picking a hole. It isn't like being on a date with a drunk nympho.

What are your mods? Picking the right hole depends on many variables, but testing will be the best way to find out.

test away, but from my experience, alcohol highly correlates to more hole choices.

You will want to start with the LCA mounted about 3" lower than the factory mounting point. If you have the BMR, than the middle hole. If using a Drag Radial, and taking to the track, the bottom hole will work best (4" drop for LCA Mount)
