Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a project for a FWD buggy, and I don't know whether I want to go for laydown shocks or a regular shock tower setup. The thing is, I would love to make something narrow and streamlined, and laydown shocks would solve issues with space around the front for shocks (between gearbox and driveshafts/steering parts), but I am not very familiar with laydown suspension geometry or what I have to look out for when building a system like that.
I thought I'd put this up here, as the Pred has had both versions (at least, I saw some pictures of rear shock towers as an alternative to the rear laydown setup).
So my question is, are there big differences in handling between laydown and standing up shocks, and what do I have to look out for when constructing the geometry of a laydown suspension system?
