Strip: footbraces

Hey all -

I have a pair of keeper footbraces that I'm installing tonight and I have a question about fit. I'm installing them on a Guillemot 17' and wonder where they should be placed in relation to the shear line. It seems that close to or an inch lower than the sheer would be ideal. Any thoughts on what's more comfortable. I need more experienced advice! Thanks
