Need your help and opinions-LCA relocation

I need opinions/suggestions about BMR control arm relocation brackets :
there are 2 mounting holes for the LCA and the option changes the car istant gravity center .
In your opinion , which is better to use ?
Here I have a full setup in progress and we will go to align the car monday . The setup is totally BMR , including : springs , shocks , LCA , UCA , front A arms , panhard adj bar , front and rear swaybar , camber bolts , caster adj , last but not least : relocation brackets for LCAs .
What are your opinions about the use of these brackets ?
I use the stang on normal streets and in racing tracks
I attach a pic of them

The control arms should be flat to slightly downward in the rear. Different spring drops require the extra holes. You need to watch the pinion angle a bit. An upper adjustable control arm may be necessary.

Yes , you're right : I'm going to use the upper hole of the bracket for the LCA .
I have to check angles yet : everything has been assembled but nothing tuned .
In fact the UCA is adjustable , but we will have to go to the alignment shop to check everything .

Thanks for your points
Steel

I agree with David except I would promote slight up at the front rather than level. But given the adjustability range, there won't be too much to decide.

A UCA chassis relocation bracket with the front pivot raised from stock is more beneficial as well.

Again, how much you drop the rear end of LCA depends on vehicle ride height.
