I dont know if they will be online for a bit, the Worlds is just round the corner so they may not be "at home". Please allow me to summarise what is in the set up manual which should answer your question. "With the shocks layed down the car is more progressive through the corners giving more side bite makes the car easy to drive." What I have found (on road and off road) is that when the shocks are lay down the car does not react as quickly and is a bit of a handful through multiple corners. the car works better with the shocks slightly more upright. The carpet front mount has the additional 4th hole to allow you to go out further, that is the one I normally use on twisty tracks going back to the 3rd or 2nd hole a the track becomes more flowing. |

why dont you want to stand the shocks up you could stand them up slightly and have shorter wheel base to get the grip that way it wont be lazy and it will change direction quickly but you will still have the grip |

its all about what you prefer realy when you say you want to try them layed down how far down in which holes. l ast night i tried running the back shocks the third hole in from the outer hole and it was ok at the moment i seem to be strugling with the back end stepping out though |

Man we are talking laydown,laydown! On the front they are going into the 3rd hole in (on tower 4 hole one) And the back 2nd or 3rd hole out At DMS did`nt have the problem of the back stepping out at all, the problem was could`nt get the front to dig in quick enough So i have now stood the front up & going to a shorter wheel base to get back steering. did have 1mm short of max wheel base at DMS by the way
using 22.5lb blue springs all round now,to much chassis roll using whites or light blues |

I tried & to no avail, i gave it my best shot to make it work ,but no 
I have gone back to light blues all round,shocks in the kit holes front & rear & hey presto 1 sec a lap faster,mow i know what i`m talking about cause i have tried it 
What`s the next bright  idea

hmmmmmm im always changing my rear shocks but normaly i run them the second hole in from the outer, sometimes the outer hole and recently ive been trying them on the third hole in it stopped the back end breaking loose all depends on the track. I always run the front on the outer hole on the new shock tower what is your local track |
