I think -2 to -3 degrees is what they say. I know BMR has a video of how to find the angle on their website.

-2 degrees is spec for performance applications, no matter what your setup.

-1.5 here with relo brackets in the most extreme hole. Anythng steeper on my car makes the rearend start to get a little noisy and slight vibrations occur. For the dragstrip, I'm gonna' try a -2 and maybe even drop on down to a -2.5.
