Default B44 conversion question

I know you have the ability to run the rear shocks on the front or the rear of the rear arm. What are the advantages/ disadvantages of this (front or rear)

In a nutshell, with the shocks at the rear the car absorbs the bumps better but on high grip it can make the rear end feel a little dead, if you have an aggresive style you will really notice this feeling. With the shocks at the front the car feels sharper but seems the rear end seems to skip about a bit on bumps.

Thanks body, that gives me a decent idea.

Doughty, if you are watching, what was your setup you used in that last big win you had?
