FS - shocks on rear
 
Are many people running them on the rear of the car on the back of the wishbones?

Why ???

The origional ZX5 ran them on the rear, they have changed to the current position. And having run both cars, 100 times better.

Some people run them on the rear and prefer them there..

Ive never tried TBH as i think just like Jon they are fine where they are!

In contrast I run mine on the rear 95% of the time, better small bump handling and weight a little further back (suits my driving style).

Use what you personal prefer!

Run mine on the back too, can't tell you why but it goes great!

Sounds wierd but mine seemed to jump better. Rather than flicking the ass in the air and it wanting to front flip, when i put them on the back @ Stotfold it seemed to take off and fly flatter.

.... I am sure I mentioned my reasons for believing they should be on the back 95% of the time earlier in the thread, looks like you have just found the same thing out! Was it better over the smaller sharper bumps too by any chance?

What I heard from some team drivers of another make, ho have the choice of running them front or rear, is that indeed it makes the car easier to driver etc... ut also significantly slower on lap times. Hence they don't run it.
