I try to build my stuff where the spring/shocks are directly over axle so only varient is the lean angle---

On the old late model, we ran the left side shock on top of the axle and the right side shock on the control arm ahead of the rear end housing....too bad the street isn't all left turn, that works great!!!!!

This is for the 'maro...thinking about running the Pro large threaded body shocks, 5" travel, inverted with 3-5 valving.... Working on that leverage deal, Jerry, with the coilovers on the front and the lighter valving on the rebound side my reasoning is to hook up the rear good on acceleration and still maintian good control in turns with a 5 valve on the jounce side.....am I thinking right, or just confused again???????

This is the shock I plan on using, plus the matching coilover kit.
