Pinion angle w/ ride height need help???? I have a a new umi torque arm and lca's and pan hard adjustables all the ways around now my question is how do I correctly adjust them and FYI my car is lowered and I really don't want to mess this up and do I still hold a -2 degree when the cars level in the air ????

Two ways I've seen. 1, keep the -2* angle. Lowering the car is what put it out of spec, back to -2* it goes. 2, you adjust the rear until you get the wine, then back it off until wine is gone. Button it up and your done.

Thanks for the kind words.
We recommend two degrees difference between driveshaft and pinion (or rear bracket which is parallel to the pinion) at ride height.
If you have a Moser 12, we also have a new part #2998.
