Default What's your LCA Angle?

I had a local guy look at my car a couple of months back since after my Cam/Clutch/bolt on install over the winter my car wont hook for **** (cut a really nice 2.7 60 foot on ET Street Radials)

The PA is dead on but he said my LCA's are way to low (7 degress) so I adjusted them up the top hole on my LCA Brackets and there sitting at 5 Degress. Also no hooking even on some 26 11.50 16 ET Street's.

The other day I did the hose mod and got it right above 3 degress and haven't drove it yet, just seeing what everyone else set's there car at.

It's a factory height M6 car

If your talking about my driving ability that's not the factor because before all the mods I could cut 1.7's all day long

With weight on all four tires the rear of the lca where it mounts to the rearend should be level with or lower than the front of the lca, this will provide the most anti-squat and your pinion angle depends on wheather your car is a m6 or a4.
