    Most manufacturers recomend that the shock angle not exceed 30 degrees. The shock should be near the center of it's travel with the car at ride height.

    .The lower shock mounts on you roadster are identical to the ones on my roadster,,,,my top mounts look like to other photo,,,,

    I think the shocks are too long to do a good job,,,would appear to bottom out,,,,,

    Have you taken one off and found the center of travel,,,that is ,,,,half way compressed and measured the distance between the two shock mounts?

    I would think SoCal my have a different lower mount,,,I believe they make the top mount like the one on your car. Danny
