Lower control arm location question

[2boss4u]

I just got my P springs in. Also have lower control arm relo brackets and arms. After I install the new lowering springs which hole do I install the lower control arm in . The bottom one or the next one up. there are only 2 options on mine. Any help would be appreciated.

You can change them to add or take away anti squat / anti dive (they go together at least from the rear of the car's perspective). add too much anti squat i.e. put the control arm in the lowest hole and you wont get much weight transfer to the front! although the more front positive caster you have the more it will dive - but we normally max that out anyway on mustang s197, i'm not sure why.

before I put my relocation brackets on I had pro squat so bad the upper 3rd link control arm would smack against the trans tunnel because it squatted so hard. that went away with the bmr relocation.

I tend to bounce in between lowest and middle holes. Fast tracks middle hole, tight smaller tracks lowest hole. Its a Trade off. With the lowest setting car feels more agile and has better traction under power but braking gets nervous.

In a two hole situation, which qualifies as the middle hole? ;D

Top is the original location now occupied by bracket bolt. Center/middle is top available space.

I appreciate all the info given. can't wait to get them on the car and lower this thing a little. going to the mid America Shelby meet in a few weeks. Any of you there look me up. I'll be the one with both an old and late model grabber blue boss 302. Come have a beer and chew the fat. Thanks
