Default POd/Shock

Need some help here.Just moved up from an old L3 to an L4.The L3 uses one of the old Delta shocks.The L4 uses the new VCS shock.Here's the problem.When I put the VCS on the chassis it causes the rear of the pod to angle down(droop?). On the older Delta shock car,the shock can be set so the pod stays flat(no droop?) If I adjust the length of the VCS shock so the pod stays flat,it doesn't extend enough to give me any angle to the pod.I can get forward motion(compress the shock),but nothing towards the rear.Is this normal? Should the pod always have some droop? Should it only be able to move forward but not rearward? In the most recent issue of rccar they have a picture of Masami's 12L/Yok.A hand is holding it in the air and the pod is flat.Any help is much appreciated. Hope I explained the problem clearly.Mario.
