I strongly believe that there are so many things that change when you make a change on a car, sometimes you make a change and it does the oposite of what you think it should do, this is often because when you have changed something, you also change something else without realising it.

so moving the shock out on the arm will make the wheel rate stiffer(less leverage over the spring), and it will also increase the piston speed and therefore pack, so which of these changes made the differance?

its possible to sit down and think about stuff all day long, best thing is to get out there and see what works in real life. and what works for you might not work for someone else.

ok so it dosnt matter where i have my shocks mounted on the tower - long as i dont change the shock loaction when changing from pack to non pack shock set up


and answer to the retorical question i really dont know - guess the pack made the diffrence?
