Yeah that is preferred... You have a better instant center... But I guess most people don't even know what an IC is. I have gotten in arguments with people when they say the only way to tune a suspension is by the pinion angle

It's best to plot out the imaginary intersection point of where the front of the torque arm pivots at in relation to the angle of the LCA's they should imaginatively intersect at a certain point.
The hight, length and angle of this intersection will have a great effect on how the car leaves under power.
I went from a 1.40 60ft to a 1.31 60ft first time out after changing the intersection on my 4 link. If it isn't right you'll lose a lot of traction potential.
