Pinion Angle?

I've just lowered my SC and I am having some traction issues.....

I have heard that lowering a car will change the pinion angle and cause traction loss.....

Has anybody had a problem like this?

Would a 3 degree pinion angle work better in this application?

Lowering your SC will not change pinion angle since it is bolted solid to the body. Look for another source of traction loss.

But it will change the suspension geometry enough to cause the inner edges of the tires to press harder on the pavement than the outer edges. I think it's called the camber setting.

To correct/improve it you will need a 4 wheel allignment.
