rc_bam, I'm sorry but I don't understand your theory with the long shocks not having any dampening. If the shocks are shorter I might understand your reasoning? Springs dictate the ride height, unless the shock was too long compressed. You should have damping as long as there is oil on both sides of the piston. Looking at Adachi's latest set ups he has been running the longer shocks for some time on all 4 corners. Is there something I'm missing here?
