I have the shock mounted in the hole closest to the rear pod, and I'm using the shortest shock end screwed all the way in. So... what's the best fix here? I can add spacers to the inside of the shock to limit it's travel, or I could try mounting it in the "middle" hole. Have you guys done either, or did I screw something else up that is causing this droop?
For our track I would just put spacers under the piston before building the shock. I always liked the way this car worked with a short and angled shock, so I would't move the shock to the other holes.
