Yeah degree sorry wow that sucked.

Yes you want the end that bolts to the rear to be lower than the end that bolts to the body, just as you desribed as the rear tries to come forward the LCA's for it down to keep the tires planted.

Cool that's how I set mine up, but I didn't measure the angle. Just made it slope down and made sure that the lengths were equal on both sides.
I still need to set my pinion angle of the TA. I also still need to install my poly motor mounts to ensure the proper pinion angle between the engine and the ds.

The suburban is long gone. I have a maxima now. Couldn't afford the insurance on another f-body, and had to get something with 4 doors to keep the cost down.

I've raced the maxima at irwindale a couple times now, and its best pass was a 9.0.
