pinion angle

[Tom Tommarello]

I recently purchased UPR adjustable uppers for my 88. I have factory lowers with poliurathane?[i know its spelled wrong] bushings. Can someone recommend what I should set pinion angle at? My thought is to set to stock length.

You have to set the pinion angle with weight on the rear tires and your weight in the drivers seat. Pinion angle on cars with solid bushings is supposed to be -1.5 to -2*

If you plan on racing the car with sticky tires On your setup id put it somewhere around -2.5 to -3 because you would be suprised on how much those stock rubber bushings will deflect when a load is put on them.

^^I agree, although the way I read the original post, it sounds like the OP installed poly bushings in the factory LCAs.
