Adjusting pinion angle with hotchkis adjustables. How and where?

[V6UnderPressure]

Just curious how to adjust them and where to set them for the best traction. I have bilsteins, eibachs, atr rear bar, all front braces, 36mm hollow front sway bar, hotchkis upper adjustables (DUH) and hotchkis boxed lowers, airbags, etc etc. Anyone?

GENERALLY, 3* down at the pinion, You will need a pinion angle gauge or an angle finder. The latter can be picked up at Home Depot and others. Now, when setting, the best angle is the one that gives the most traction. I would not advise much over 3*

Now for street driving, Thats a whole 'nother ball game.

What are your ET goals and what is the expected ratio of street to track usage? Paul's pinion angle guage comes with a sheet that tells you what angle to set it at based on this information.

you can also check with dick miller racing-i think he has a site-he goes quite extensively into setting up pinion angles and rear end geometry.
