And achieving the same height as stock simply means one more washer than the stock setting requires.
Interesting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the height that they are referring to on the shock tower the mounting position? Or are you saying that the 1mm and 2mm lowered tower is actually the ball stud is lower?
I interpreted it as though the ball stud was the same, but the mounting positions at the top were lowered. Kind of like you used to see on 8th scales back in the day, 2 sets of holes on the tower to mount the shock, an upper and a lower. Is this incorrect?
From their site:
"Lower the shock mounting position 1mm down to reduce the role and to improve steering response. " <--front
"Lower the shock mounting position 2mm down to reduce the role and improve rear grip." <-- Rear
Also just remembered that the ballstud is independent of the tower so that just leads me to believe that the mounting holes are what was different. Anyway thanks for any feedback. I love reading and absorbing as much as I can
