I'd say try it. I was looking for more rear grip in my HB Cyclone so I laid the rear shocks down. Funny thing was, the further they were laid down from the position that I started with, the less rear mid corner grip I had until the car was totally loose.
Then I stood the shocks up just to have a go. Weird thing is, the rear started getting more planted when I stood the shocks up from where I started.
All the theories I read have stated that the opposite should happen. Confused.

I think a lot depends on the specifics of each car, I mean from manufacturer to manufacturer with regard to flex and lateral grip etc.
On my Mi3 and 008 I used to stand the rears up to prevent spin out round the sweeper, with the T3 I lay them down to prevent the spinning
