i bought an edelbrock adjustable torque arm, what is a good angle to set it at. stock ride height,
lower control arms next, should i get relocation brackets or no, and are there any out there for less that 60 - 70 $$?
thanks

and that answers the question how???? remember man, different strokes for different folks. I dont think its a big deal to throw out a personal opinion, but at least try to offer something constructive as well.
anyhoo, I would say that you should set your panhard bar to the stock ride hight unless you have reason to change it. I would see if you can get the dealership to set it up with a drivetrain angle tool. Ive done some drivetrain vibration repairs and without that little magnetic tool, id have been up shits creek. Its probly the best way to accuratly setup the rear end.

thats ironic, mod scolds about offering to the thread then misses himself.
either way i think stock is a good way to go. from the understanding i have (meaning the one tv show i saw on suspension setups) its best to set everything to stock, take the car to a track, and run it a bunch of times. adjust the different parts accordingly and see where that puts you...

For all of your suspension needs http://www.spohn.net/
If you are in PA you can go see them or drop Steve an E mail and pose your question about the torque arm, he'll know.
