Help me set up my drag suspension A little background my car is a 1996 Camaro Z28, 4l60e with a Yank SS3600, 3.90 rear gear.
It ran a 1.61 60' last year with stock rear suspension aside from control arms and a panhard.
I have QA1R w/ 300 lb springs on the front.
UMI Torque arm relocation bracket.
UMI Lower control arm relocation bracket
This winter I have added:
QA1 DA shocks w/ bearing mounts
MWC transverse mounts
UMI adjustable torque arm
UMI drag bar
What is the best way to set this up for a base line?
What hole on the t/a relocation?
What pinion angle should I shoot for -2 to -4?
What hole on lower control arm relocation?
What settings on the front and rear shocks?

Why did you add all that stuff? 1.60 is well within the range of a stock-ish suspension. Also, what is your powerplant and what are your end goals....meaning do you plan on running faster then 1.6x? This may help some answer your question.

Start with pinion angle at -2. I like starting with the torque arm one spot below the top. The top hole would be the most aggressive. LCAs level to the ground.
