Default Driveshaft Working Angle

Does Anyone know what the stock working angle for the '07 IS350 is? I'd like to match the working angle as close as possible after lowering my car and so please let me know what the stock driveshaft working angle is and also how I'd go about fixing it after lowering my car Thank you very much.

Not too sure you have to worry about that when you lower the IS. It's when you're dealing w/ huge lift kits on trucks when you worry about the pinion angles for the driveshaft and U-Joints but I believe our cars are okay.

Driveshaft angle doesn't change at all when you lower any car with fully independent suspension. Only live axle suspensions have this issue. The only time the differential moves relative to the engine in our cars is when the chassis flexes.
