Default Whats your pinion angle??

What do you hrad core guys with stockish suspension set your pinion angle at for drag???

I have Eibach Pro-Kit and a Spohn TQ arm. I am not sure if the TQ arm was adjusted right because ever since I had it put on my 60's have gone to hell. I want to check my angle and re-set it if need be.

Are you guys using the standard 2deg?

...fixed the Subject title. I kept laughing thinking about an onion angle. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

-2 seems to be the accepted norm. There's an interesting page about how to achieve a true reading here on Rossler Transmissions website.
