Richard Hudgins Rick I was under the thought that the more angle the shock and spring are at, the less support and dampening they do. This is why you use the canterlever system in the front end of your car. The straight up and down shock does the most accurate work. I have seen the F1 car with the shocks laying flat on there sides. I figure the the
oil control discs in them are different for this control or a remote res. is there to help. Are your cars setup soft? light springs with good adjustments on the sway bars? Wieght is balanced, with some brake bias. You want the tire to stay flat on the track for the most contact patch. You want the rear of the car to squat when accerating and put more pressure on the rear tires so they don't spin or loose grip. A heavy spring may cause the tire to load and unload, you loose traction and maybe the car spins out. Rick Lake
