Rear Suspension Geomtry....Please help (technical)... Hey guys, I just installed my G2 LCA's and relo brackets about two weeks ago. It did not really help my traction problems so I started asking questions. I have the LCA's in the lowest hole and they are past paralell with the ground (angled down from the frame to the rear...lower end at the axle). I was talking to a well respected drag racer (he has a 9 sec old school muscle car) from my area and he says that I have the angle backwards. That the LCA should be angled down from the rear end to the frame (lower at the frame)??? What is the deal, why would they weven make these relocation brackets if this were the case???
We also started a discussion about the drive shaft angle, and the problems that can occur if the driveshaft geometry is now paralell with the ground (reccomended is 1.5-3 degree angle). When the driveshaft is level I was told that it will actually "Sag" and cause the popping noise that I have been getting from the rear of my car under hard acceleration.
Any help??
TIA
