Default Shock placement

Ok thought I would post this before I get slammed, haha.
On the Cougar ONLY, ie NOT the Cat, the rear shocks are much better on the front of the rear shock tower.
Ok I said it, now can we just move on please???

DC, How would you define "better"? I have only run my rear shocks on the rear of the tower. I was told this would make the car safer but it would not be as quick per lap. Is this your experience?

It has made the car more agile without being too aggresive for a driver like me

And who says I am not a rear man, I use Trish's rear end on the Cat

Hi DC,

When u used your shocks on rear, did you mount wing position back as well? In accordance to the rear shock tower?

Looking forward to u coming to Torch at the end of the month

Yep did, car was good today, shocks at front better.
So Steve, your little offer if anyone beats the track record at Torch is very tempting
