We could have gotten the shocks in the box, but that would have made adjusting the ride height very difficult. Also, the shocks are double adjustable and adjusting the jounce and rebound would have been hard hidden in a box. There is the question of raising the center of gravity, but the Penske shocks are ridiculously light. Even F1 cars leaves them up top where they can tinker with them easier.
