Default Can this hurt my rearend?

Driving with -5 or lower pinion angle. How about normal driving?

Thanks

I did not set it up like that. I got a Spohn Chasis mounted torque arm and my car has Sportlines on it. The car was too low to set the pinion angle after the TA install because the torque arm kept hitting the body. I am waiting to put on my Hals w/drag springs in the front and the stock springs in the back so that the ride height will be raised. That way I can get the pinion angle set.

So I should try not to drive it too much?

Not too sure....I am not the one doing it....cuz I don't know how. The shop that I went to had trouble doing it. If it is that easy..then I don't know why they had trouble doing it because they are a fantastic speed shop.

Thanks for the tip!
