Default Pinion angle

Hi all,

When lowereing my car do I need to worry about pinion angle even for a slight lowering ? I will probably go with FRPP C springs, sothats like 1.5in up front and I think an inch in back. The reason Im asking is I am trying to decide on lower control arms and need to know if I should get adjustable or not.

No, I wouldn't. I would worry more about bump steer.

You'll not 1.5" outta the C springs, maybe 1"-1.25"

Hey Lizzy thanks, I thought it would be more for a racing type situation, but still never hurts to ask
