wow, pinion angle makes a huge difference!!! ok, i threw on my adjustable torque arm a few months ago, and didnt check the angle. i know, i know, stupid. i just eyeballed it. so i am running around on 315 DR's and spin the hell out of them. i wore out a set in a few weeks. so i order some sumitomo 315's and set my pinion angle to -2 degrees. i had to fix a few things that took me a month or so. i finally took it for a spin a few nights ago and DAMN. she hooks as good if not a little better with street tires and the correct angle as it did with DR's and a very very off angle. i know i was dumb to not set it right away, but maybe my mistake can inform others, it was super easy to set and the rewards are well worth it.

Yeah I switched from a body mount to a long style. For some reason been really lazy and didn't bother to check or adjust the new arm.
I remember years ago when I got the body mount, the first time I had everything backwards, car rode horrible. +2 is not the same as -2.
