The shock adjustment is really going to depend on the car and track conditions. The best thing to do would be start the rears in the middle(maybe a click or 2 firmer) and the fronts full soft. You should not need to adjust the CA's when you adjust pinion angle. If you have any other questions I can help out with just let me know

We have a great instructional video on the front page of our website. It shows you how to adjust the pinion angle on a car with an adjustable torque arm. You can check it out here :

You need to make the adjustment with the full weight of the car on the wheels. Good luck!

Do you run a slick or dr's, i'll take it you do. front 1-2 on back you want it very firm so i would say 10-12. you want the lifting energy of the front to push down and plant the rearend firm and hard. you'll probably see a little diff. in 60's a lesser ET and 1-3mph increase
