Well its a ratio between the X and Y axis of the shocks when u lay then in they travel a shorter distance (the shock) even tho the chassis is moving the same makin the spring rate seem softer . Same applies the opposite when goin out with them at the top. Now if u change the bottom location it will make a regressive change in the shock spring rate like if u go out with the bottom the shock will be softer at first and then firm up as travel increases . And same applies to goin in with them. I started running them out wide in the front to allow the car to role more at slower speeds and firm up as loads increase

when one lays down front or rear shocks, the XXX main book says it softens that side of the car, thereby allowing it to roll more and generate more grip (in a nutshell)
However, when I lay down the rear I find it rotates around faster, and when I stand it up it seems to gerate more grip - especially the initial bite.
Am I a complete spud,
or do others agree with me on this?
