Ride height decreases as the lower shock mounting position is
moved from position (1) to position (4). Each pair of lower shock
mounting holes (1,2 and 3,4) has equal ride height. Use lower
ride height for high-speed cornering and flat terrain, and when
racing on relatively smooth tracks. Increase the ride height for
rougher terrain and tracks.
Upper Shock Mounting Positions
The upper shock mounting positions will have suspension
effects opposite from the lower shock mounting positions.
Spring rate (at the wheel), increases as the upper shock
mounting position is moved from position (A) to position (B).
Ride height is not affected by changes in the upper shock
mounting position.
Use the chart below to see the effect of the various shock
mounting positions. The horizontal length of the lines indicates
the amount of suspension travel. The angle or slope of the lines
indicates the spring rate (at the wheel).
