I just installed the same setup (minus the driveshaft loop). Spohn recommends -1 to -2 degrees of TRUE pinion angle. If they are making the product and they are the testers/designers/etc I'll go with what they recommend. Lowering the car should NOT affect the goal of having -1 to -2 pinion angle. With that said, since your car is lowered do you have an adjustable panhard bar? If not, I'd imagine your rearend would not be aligned properly and the offset will probably be exaggerated by the torque arm when launching the car from a complete stop.

It's really easy to set the pinion angle. Did they supply a pinion angle finder?

Let me know if you have any questions.
