Before anyone asks, the lowering is going to help me with a clearance issue.
it will lower your center of gravity very slightly. this will negativly effect weight transfer, but help stability at the far end of the track. Keep in mind you are talking about 1 inch, so it wont effect anything. my best gestimate is the pinion angle should be close to the same since you are moving the engine back 2" and down 1".
