I am not sure if a change of the damper angle would make sense on a proven car like the T4. My conversion just loweres the shocks. Otherwise the geometry stays the same.

The lower mounts will not hook in the carpet, because they are mounted on the arms. So if the arm moves up, the mount will move up, too. I have tested it two full days and one race on an oldschool outdoor track with high curbs, low curbs, bumpy curbs; these "hooks" never even touched the ground once or got stuck. I had the same experience indoor, too. And there I often ran over the curbs and the wooden strips that seperated the lanes, because visited the track for the first time ever.

Indoor it is clearly recognizeable that the car stays flatter and is stressing the front outside tire less. So this mod is save to drive on regular tracks and will not violate the ground clearance rule of 5mm which is mandatory on most tracks


Now for those who want to give it a try, the dimensions of the parts (units are in mm):
