What's the formula for setting the torque arm angle??
I am going to set the angle on my Spohn adjustable torque arm tomorrow. I forgot what the formula was using the angle finder. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The driveshaft angle should be equal-to-but-opposite-of each spline shaft.
I.E., if the angle of the driveshaft coming out of the tranny is 10* down, then the angle into the rear end should be 10* up.
This is taking into consideration that the car is planted with all four wheels on the ground, and all the weight of the car is on the springs.

Shoot...... 
I forgot about the 2* added for the rear.
There has to be some allowance for the rear end wanting to go upward under a load. This is usually 1-2* extra "below" the tranny angle.
