I know your a well known pro. And I haven't any doubt you know what your talking about. But like I stated before, I like to tinker and the tracks we run on around here are no where close to the quality you most likely frequent in the WC. This is why I was questioning the inverted big bore shock idea.
Inverted shouldn't add much if any vertical GC imbalance.
RCGOD stated it would cause added unsprung weight, which I also agree with.
But to what effect is what I want to know, and to what degree can possible CG or unsprung weight can be negated through the swaybar tuning.
These are all things I want to know so I am going to be hard headed enough to have to try.
Sway bars don't always work as intended. For example, when you have such a high CG and tons of body roll like an SCT, the outer suspensions is going to travel down and the sway bar will actually bring the inside down with it, and hold it down.
