    The angle that your talking about on those upper arms is the brake anti-dive---I think Heidt's cataloque or web site covers it

    Thanks Jerry, I did know that at one time, but my brain won't work like it used to.

    Thanks guy's, but it's not the anti-dive that I am worried about, because it's built in from the factory. The angle that I am worried about is if you were standing on side of car facing the top hat and tilted it downwards 5 degrees towards inside the frame, with the anti-dive still angled to the rear. I think that I am trying to say, if the a arm is adjusted all the way forward in the slots, as you slide it backup the adjusting slots, I think it will raise the a arm 5 degrees. I am sorry about the confusion. Just trying to find out if the factory built it in that way or I have something not right when I narrowed it.
