On the SPL rear LCAs, what is the relative stiffness between the three shock mount holes?

My understanding is that the effective spring stiffness is altered by choosing one of the three shock mounting holes. In other applications this is usually expressed as a percentage relative to stock which I presume is the center hole. I can't find this spec for the SPL LCAs

Fair enough. What about a retrofit of the Z frame?

So I will soon be pulling the trigger on rear lower control arms. I find myself in a bit of a dilemma though. Do I back order the Whiteline LCAs ($500) and hope I get a pair by July 2015 or purchase the currently available SPC LCAs ($210). I am currently running my car in the STX class of autocross which means I cannot change the type of bearings or bushings in the control arms.
My question really is: is there any good reason for me to save some more $$ and back-order the Whiteline control arms or just go forward with the SPC control arms?

if your not allowed to swap bushings, im surprised swaping an entire control arm that comes with a pillow ball is not a violation....

Whiteline isn't pillow ball, its one of the few that isn't.
