coil over angles
 

I recently installed the lt1 style rear brakes on my 1985 cutlass. II had to relocate the shocks, therefore i made my own bracket. The bracket itself is stable, but i do not like the look of it, and i just do not trust it (ocd/ overthinking in my head.) My question is, if i convert to coilovers, i was thinking of welding in a frame tie and mounting the upper mount to that, and making a new lower mount attached to the rear, what is the optimal angle to moun the coilover assembly to optimize handling? Thanks in advance

Ideally, you want the spring inline with the applied force. Typical road race setup has 5-10* but most often packaging can dictate positions.

Body roll makes a difference on what is actually inline with the applied force. You also want the lower mount pointing at the center of tire contact patch to keep leverage effects at a minimum. 5 degrees or so would be about right.
