Default Angle of lca's??

What angle works the best? Of 2 cars I have measured it seems to be different from side to side. Mine is at about 3* right side 5* left side on a lowered camaro with relocaton brackets. My friends stock height firehawk is 2.5* rt side 4.5* lt side.

You need to measure them with the driver in the car.

The "best" angle will depend on the length of the torque arm, car weight, rear tire etc.

Short TA's roughly -2 to -3 degrees.

Long TA's roughly -4 to -5 degrees.

But you really have to test it to be sure.
