Default proper suspension setup?

Hey guys am sure this topic has been beat like a dead horse on here but kinda need some help. I have a 01 Camaro and have just purchased a Moser 12 bolt with 4:11's. Also have umi lca's panhard and torque arm which all are adjustable. My question is what is the proper pinion angle for it and how do I go about doing it? Thanks for any help

A good starting point for pinion angle is going to be between -2 and -3 degrees. Once you set it, drive the car around and make sure you don't have any drivetrain vibration and you should be good to go. Here is a quick BMR video showing how to adjust pinion angle with an adjustable torque arm:


Another thing you need to make sure that you do is Loctite the torque arm bolts that mount it to the 12 bolt. These bolts are know to back out so you will also want to check the periodically.
