Don't make pinion angle too difficult, but don't ignore it either. This video discusses what pinion angle I shoot for and why. It is not about adding bite!! Also, let's understand the twisting forces on the rear end so we can tune the rear suspension accordingly. When we talk about pinion angle in drag racing, we are not actually referring to just the angle or slope of the pinion shaft alone, but the relationship of the pinion shaft centerline angle and the driveshaft centerline angle, so more technically we are talking about the working angle of the U-Joints.

You can use the double adjustable shocks and your coilover springs to help counteract and/or slow down these forces, but the recipe is even better with an Anti roll bar, ARB, and everything working together. This video teaches you how to find your pinion angle and what angle to shoot for on a full drag car rear suspension.

How to setup double adjustable shocks and coil springs for drag racing does not have to be a mystery. How to tune rear shocks for drag racing also known as tuning coilovers for drag racing. Drag car alignment is critical as you know for your safety and the safety of the other driver.
