Rob and I were talking about this on Friday actually....... he said if you cut the shock eyelet down you can run the stock perches. I believe Toso actually has them on his car. I wasn't aware of this. Rob even said to cut the threads on the shock shaft.

Reason being that since the tower is lowered, you essentially should be running a shorter shock shaft/body. It limits travel and roll through the corner and hinders steering. He mentioned they kinda discovered this during Cleveland. Makes sense I guess. Never really thought about it until he brought it up.

I still think the preload on the springs has to be kept to a minimum. Hopefully the things Rob said will help with this.
