Will Lowering The Front Of The Car Change The Pinion Angle?
Hey guy's I am about to install UMI tunnel mount torque arm, 3 point sub frame connector, lca's, and lca relocating brackets soon and of course I will set my pinion angle in the process. Well I will be getting strange double adjustable's after installing all the other suspension and I was wondering when I do change to those and the front of the car is lowered some will that throw off my pinion angle any?

I would beg to differ. Lowering the front transfers weight off the rear, in turn allowing the rear to raise slightly. Therfore changing the pinion angle, although it may be slight. You should check your pinion angle afterwards IMO.

The pinion angle will not change in relation to the car, it will only change in relation to the ground. There is no need to try and "redo" the angle when only changing the front suspension geometry. It's a good Idea to check it before and after, but I'd bet a weeks wages that it won't need to be changed after the front suspension mods.
