Hi Guys
This subject has me a bit puzzled, I am thinking a bit about what does what.
If you flip the arms over and stay shimmed the same way you were you will actually lengthen the wheelbase some, this will take away rear traction, but it will make it rotate a bit easier if the back end is sliding a bit, and it will calm it down over bumpy sections and probably make it a bit more directionally stable. When you move the dampers rearwards you are moving some weight, so it will give some more rear traction, but I believe not influencing as much as the effect of flipping the arms and thus lengthening the wheel base.
in addition I bet that the rear arms are twisting under acceleration, and the side that will be moving the most is the one where the damper isn't attached, so that will also account for some effect.
All of this will have different impact based on if you flip the arms or re-drill them since it will give different wheelbase and leverage on the arm.
Things to think about when you choose between re-drilling or flipping arms :-)
