Where To Set Pinion Angle After Installing BMR Adjustable TQ ARM???

I was just wanting to know what is the best angle to set the pinion after installing the BMR TQ ARM. I have an A4 and BMR suggest a -2 degrees setting. Those of you that have this set up on an A4 Does this seem to be the angle.At which you left yours.Thanks. Mike.........

yeah, 2 or 3 degrees down should be good. Any more than that and youll run into premature ujoint failure. Hope this helps, Prorac1

Should i keep it the same even at the track? Or should i give it a little more angle? Track only..... Street keep it set at the -2 or-3 degree mark? Thanks. Mike......

BMR recommends -1 to -2 for your car, and -2 to -3 for manuals (presumably for track). I personally set mine at -2, though it's an M6. Sooo, I think you'd be fine with -2.

Honestly, i dont think a single degree is going to make or break you, but i certainly wouldnt exceed -4 degrees. As long as you dont have a positive angle, I wouldnt be overly concerned. If you dont like -2, you can always readjust it later...
