170bhp Regular Registered: January 2004	Re: Settings for traction brackets AE86 Mon, 31 October 2005 08:23 you don't need adj arms to fit traction brackets!! fitting traction brackets with the factory arms will work fine, if you have traction bracets like I have fitted which have 3 sets of additional holes then the location of the standard(if standard arm are fitted) would effect the pinion angle! If I select anyone of the three holes then I start to adj my pinion angle(I do have cusco adj rear arms fitted btw) by quite an amount!! which suprises me when you say 'no one in their right mind would just fit the brackets without adj pinion angle'.....that's what they do!! fitting traction brackets with or without adj arms WILL adj pinion angle there is nothing you can do to stop that....unless you fit longer upper arms(like I have!)or wind your lower arms right out!! With a standard lower arm as you move to a lower hole on the traction bracket the hole becomes further away from the lower arm, because the top arm is shorter, the whole lot pivots around this, you must therefore push the diff forward to get the lower arm in, which raises the pinion angle. I understand by changing the angle of the arm you are affecting squat etc etc but you just can't get away from the fact that fitting traction brackets with or without adj lower arms will affect pinion angle, oldcorollas have you ever fitted these???? because the amount you have to move the diff forward is quite alot! and I'm sure I wouldn't want to wind my cusco arms out that amount!!anyway I went equal length 4 link so I can put it where I want. at the end of the day fitting traction brackets with standard bottom arms will work and will change the pinion angle by quite an amount.
