Default FRPP Handling Pack + Spyder Shaft = What Pinion Angle

Title says it all.

I have the Spyder Shaft Drive shaft, and am going to pull the trigger on the FRPP Handling pack to lower the car some, the right way, (Not just springs)...so anyway, my question is what pinion angle would you suggest for a one piece drive shaft using the FRPP Handling pack, I think it lowers the vehicle 1.5 inches in the rear.

No pinion angle adjustment is needed with the FRPP handling pack, I would also suggest relocation brackets for lower control arms if you don't already have them.

I don't have the Relocation brackets, but I do have the CHE LCA's they've been on a bit over a year. Why the relocations? For racing or everyday use?

When you lower the car, the angle of the lca's will be anything, but optimal. The relocation brackets will make them parallel again and it will ride so much better, plus better traction.

The angle of the pinion flange should be parallel with the angle of the transmission flange when the car is accelerating. That being said, the transmission angle on my car is -3 degrees, most are pointing downward 2 or 3 degrees. In a perfect world I would set my pinion angle to +3, but since the pinion will rotate upward slightly, I have mine set to +2. Anything lower than +2 and I get vibrations under deceleration.

Ok relocation brackets then, I can do that, and Understand where you're comign from with that, so thanks. Also thank you much for the Pinion Angle tip. That's what I needed.

One other Bonus question before I buy.......FRPP handling Pack with 20x10 Rear and 20x9 fronts, any issues?

Perfect I was planning to buy CHE arms and brackets, I installed a set of brackets on a customer Saleen and I was impressed buy their quality.
