Very nice setup there. Did you have any problems with the clearance between the brake line bracket and the coil over?

That looks sick! Looks like your rear passenger wheel needs some adjusting to center within the wheel well though.

It is the relationship between the driveshaft angle and the pinion angle .... with the suspension loaded and with an angle finder, measure the angle of the driveshaft and then the angle of the pinion (or flat area associated with the pinion angle) and add the two together. That is your pinion angle. The driveshaft angling down front to rear is negative and the driveshaft angling up front to rear is positive and the same for the pinion ... pinion angling down is negative, pinion angling up is positive.

I am currently at -1, but it is said -2 to -3 is preferred for an all out drag M6. Talk to MWC to see they recommend for you though.

Ok cool, he explained it to me but Im more of a visual learner so i couldnt comprehend it very well. He told me with the cross brace i have and short torque arm i wouldn't get more than about 1.2degrees out of it. He said That is ok but 1.5-2 is recommended.he also said that pinion angle can affect wheels but wheel base can't affect pinion angle. So that's probably why my tires look a little off. He also said in stock form the tires arebt prefectly centered in the wheel well.

I have the same setup but here is a picture of the clearance problem I had. Eric may have already corrected the issues on their builds already.

what all have you done on the front end to get it down to the ground? I'm waiting on my mwc rear, but need to do something on the front next. Nice ride, looks badass! Chuck

Actually, the low front may look good, but it is definitely not the best for wight transfer, 60's or ET's. I understand that 26"is the ideal front height on an fbody, but have not confirmed it yet. My rear is 27"and once I finish installing my front DA's, I will start at 26" in the front then it's back to the track!

Ya, its way too low. It was at a good height with the sstreet wheels on it but when i put the slicks on it the rear tires made the front end lower...in going to raise it up more before i hit the track.
