Anyone down here in Florida? There has to a Florida Schumacher store where Mi3/mi2Ec drivers get their stuff from...thanks

What handling effect happens if I move my rear shocks in on the tower. Right now they are in the second hole from out to in on both the tower and the Arm.

Laying them down will make the rear end softer initially but more progressive. The back will feel a little more sluggish and have more grip. If the back of the car feels too twitchy, laying them down one should help smooth it out.

Thanks Jon. What I'm trying to do is use shock angle to freeup the rear just a HAIR

The result was - incredible. Still the same grip in the front of the car, lots of roll in the corners, and a very stable "heck" ( back)", very predictable and easy to drive.
I think moving the back dampers from the upper second hole to the third could be my personal standard setup from now on.
As i have said a lot easier to drive and for me, quicker too.

South Florida is Nitro Land. Mostly Bashers and Nitro Sedan or 1/8th.
MDI racing in Royal Palm on Southern Ave is a good all around electric and nitro race shop though. They have Schu parts and racing gear like batts, speedos, etc.

Gives the car a more direct, snappy feel. But one of the first things I do if I need a little extra bite in the rear is lay the shocks down one hole.

Don't get on here much, but as far as free-ing up the rear of the car goes...
Try:
1. adding a little pressure to the rear shocks,
2. softening the rear spring (like 2 #), while moving the rear arms back 1mm
3. For more extreme cases, run the outer hole on the arm with the stock hole on top.
This info assumes your to-stuck-rear comes from excessive rear bight and not lack of front...
