Hope it helps.
This is interesting. I never thought that the piston position in the shock body would affect car performance. Can you explain it? Would it be the same as using different shock shaft lenghs? For instance, the shafts from a pro4 are a bit longer than the cyclone ones. So, if I used them in a cyclone shock, the piston would be higher, much like using the lower shock tower. Would this have a similar effect in the car's handling? And what would that be, that is, what does "It frees up the car a lot" mean?

Thanks!
