I'll quote myself:
"Now if you reverse the shock, the weight of the shock is now carried by the suspension arm and is now "unsprung" since the shock body is now UNDERNEATH the spring.
This does add to the unsprung weight of the cars arms however, yet the change should be minimal."
"3. Reduced sprung weight for quicker maneuvering"
Sorry I misread, I had never seen the term "sprung weight" before.
Everyone in motorsport is trying to reduce UNsprung weight for better suspension response - I don't know why you are trying to increase it. It's the tyres that touch the ground, not the chassis.
