From what I understand, the lowers should be horizontal and the uppers should be slightly angled down.

As far as the pinion angle, from what I undertand if your trans output is at -3 deg, then your pinion angle should be +3 deg.

Building adjustability into your link system can help tune it.

Ok Im reading this and still trying to decipher a few things. Does it matter which of the bars (either upper or lower) is parallel to the ground at ride height? Also do I set the pinion angle at 0* or the opposing angle of the trans output? I know I have to setup everything inside the frame but the pics are just a mockup

Thanks spankbomb, that shouldn't be to hard to accomplish. I guess I'll just set the rear at O* and make sure that Im able to dial in the wishbone a few degrees. I dont know where the trans will be set yet so better safe than sorry.

Thanks
