There she is, the uppers from team z, heres a pic of the complete setup with the lowers. So how much of a PITA is it setting pinion angle?

I helped my friend do his in his 03 cobra with sn95 rear end in it and that was a pain and a half!!! Just saying. We also did it with the car jacked up and rested on blocks to do it in a garage without moving room so that probably didn't help. But still...wasn't fun.

I mean how hard could if be? What exactly was the PITA about it, actually squeezing in to work on it?

Setting pinion angle, and also keeping the rear centered and square to the chassis is fun. Best of luck brah

Does anone have a guide setting it up, actually setting the pinion angle doesn't seem difficult at all. http://www.baselinesuspensions.com/info/pinionangle.htm

Just wanted to say my order came in yesterday and I'm pumped, looks liek a serious setup. I had some tech questions though, I'm new to the game of adjustable rear suspension coming from non adjustabble lowers and solid uppers. Is there any installation walkthrough on how to get even thing adjusted properly, center and squared, pinion angle, etc etc.I'm not sure if I'm a little in over my head with the setup or not going to be my first crack at it.
