Default What angle for cossie rear prop?

Hi can anyone help me or give a bit of advice . Some of you may know iam building a mk6 4x4 fiesta running cossie transmission and would like to know if the rear prop must be straight or can it have a slight drop from the back of the gearbox to the rear diff. Is the standard cossie prop straight ?
How much angle can i run safely?

Cheers any advice would be grate

I would imagine ford would only ever recomend OE setup angles.
The "general" 15 degrees is pretty much what is recommended of any prop UJ, you could go as much of 20.....pretty normal to see on offroaders etc. but ideally 15 max heading toward 0 on agresive launch is gonna give best results in UJ life expectancy.
