We used to lower down the differential mount point for the lower control arms.
Same thing.

They are changing the Instant Center location of the rear suspension, and it's relationship to the center of gravity of the vehicle.

Raising the rear of the upper control arm and lowering the rear of the lower control arm both move the IC up and more rearward from the stock location, increasing the anti-squat during launch.

Most folks move the upper and try to make the lower horizontal, but I believe it is to make it easier to visualize the changes being made.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
