Rookies-Pinion Angle quest...helpl!

Hy,
anyone can say me how much i must change rear end pinion to come to the correct streetable operation angle.

Found a few sites on web where explain everything about pinion drive angles but i´m not sure if understand everything correct because...my lack of English.I´m a little confused and maybe it´s a stupid question but i wanted to be 100% sure, so please take a look at the pic and let me know.(but speak slowly for euro guys )


Current Set up= Rear 3°up and Trans 3,5°down = +0,5° correct?

I would need -2to3° negative drive working angles correct?

So how much and in which direction (up-down) must i change the rear.

Must i subtract the rear measurements from the trans measurements or contrariwise?



Thanks for help.

What are you doing to need to change anything? Have you raised or lowered the car a bunch? What you are showing is drive line angle. Unless you are drag racing you don't need to be messing with the pinion angle either. Explain a little more of what you are trying to do.

I don´t want to race or change height for now,only want to set the pinion angle correct to prevent vibration noise.

Can i stay with this angles?
