No wisdom from the manuals please. If you look at the two manuals for the TC3 and the XXX-S, the info is totally contradicting.

Does anyone run stand up shocks on the Mugen?

Due to the lack of time on raceday, I've never really played with shock angles, just ran what most people do, shocks all the way down.

Thanks.
Here is a rule of thumb:

Stand up shock position: less body roll, less traction
Lay Down shock position: more body roll, more grip

That's from Serpent X-ray Set up book, pretty good article! you can find it in Serpent X-ray site.
