pinion angle for a lowered car? hi, i am about to purchase a Spohn adj T/A with rod ends and an Eibach Sportline spring kit about 1.8" lower at all 4's and i was wondering what is the best pinion angle to use with this set up? the car is driven mostly street but i do plan to bring it to the track from time to time. im more about handling than straight line driving

A lot of folks might recommend the Spohn TA for straight line purposes and a longer TA for road work. Having said that, the pinion angle for the Spohn unit and the street should be set 0 to -1 for best results according to some other posts I've read. I'm still working to dial mine in right. The driveline geometry should be the same regardless of the ride height.

the further from 0, the more wear you will get. The harder you launch, the more negative you need to be.
For bolt on cars and daily drivers, I'd stick with 0 to no more than -1
