If those bars are like the ones I had on my OCR, then they're a bit of an awkward shape... ie: if you make the hoods horizontal, the drops point below the RD - or if you make the drops horizontal, the hoods slope away really badly.
In the end, my drops were pointing just below the rear caliper... 'twas the only semi-comfortable compromise I could find.
