Did you do any supporting mods? I would think you would at least need adjustable LCA's or UCA to adjust pinion angle.

i got a shelby gt which is already lowered 15"and has the handling package, so ididnt have to do anything but bolt the DS up. i have no vibrations whatsoever.

i had read other post cant remember where though, but as long as your not lowered than 2" then your ok with your pinion angles.

I'm lowering mine next week. I'm just installing the Panhard bar to recenter the rear.

I've read on other forums that this coast driveline and gear aluminum driveshaft is made very well and that adjusting yourpinion angle isn't needed until your car is lowered 2 inches or more. Yes,I know going from stock 2 piece ds to a 1 piece ds will change the pinion angle, but with this unit it seems the change is so minimal that adjustments aren't always needed on a stock ride height suspension. Maybe someone else can share there experience with this driveshaft.
