* Some industrial belting wound up inside the right coil spring (to help level the car on launch)

I have no idea what the pinion angle is.

It works, so I leave it alone.
Nice #'s Alan, I have yet to come within a tenth of that. But I guess that's what shoe polish is for.

Took my OEM sway bar off this past weekend for 11 passes and found the car has quite the twist without it. Back on it will go.
