why does everyone say that it has to be level? you want the difference from the two angles, which will be the same no matter how unlevel ,,right?
Also, does this street car that has -2, have drag radials?

Get the car level. It will throw off the measurement if you dont. Dont make life harder on yourself...

Sorry, but I have to ask... Do you really think that after your springs have been holding your car up for 13 years, it's going to "settle" a little more over night, really?

Having the car level will produce the smallest numbers to deal with.

Also depending on how unleveled the car is it can affect ride height front to rear which would alter pinion angle.

so if i want -2 on my rearend and my driveshaft is at 0 degrees. so this would be right. correct?

yes if your drive shaft is 0
but it looks 2 be a lil more than -2 in that pic

Would have to agree looks more like 3-4 in picture but it's hard to tell.

dam if thats -3 im really out of adjustment. im at +1. i need to go back and readjust lol.

BMR Tech

Would do that for sure!!! +1 is not good.....

Pinion angle is probably going +3 or 4 when the car launches

i thought the needle needed to be on the other side of the 0 lol. well good thing i have not driven the car yet.

you said it was body mounted right? do you have a stock exhaust? Does the exhaust hit the tunnel brace bracket? reason being, i put a umi tbm t/a and where the y-pipe comes together it hits the bracket. i made sure to get the one that is meant to clear a stock exhaust but it is extremely annoying under acceleration.

yeah i got the chassis mount. i got the one for long tube hedders. it fits very nice.

ya the top part of the differential brace hits my floor tunnel. i dont hear it but i can see rub marks when im up under there. i adjusted it so im not sure if it still does it now.

ls1adamls1

iTrader: (9)

i was told it will hit and wear itself in. or you can do the bfh mod to it lol

and yeah im doing true duals very very soon

Hello
Thanks for choosing UMI Performance! Another suggestion for you is to loosen up the Y Pipe and rotate it so it rotates off of the cross member. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks
Brad

i tried that. it didnt budge. i also tried adjusting the exhaust hangers which helped for a bit but the exhaust settled back down.
i take it spacing the cross member from the tunnel, a 1/4" or so, isnt a smart option?! thanks for any help.
