Re: Make it handle

A little off the current subject, but I have a couple questions about coilover mounting. Looking at the picture of one of your fatbar setups below. Have you ever had a problem mounting the bottom of the coilover single shear? It makes things easier to setup like that and have it be adjustable, but I worry a little about the strength. Everything I have built to now was for offroad so maybe I am overthinking it. Also, I see you have the coilovers angled in some. Is this necessary or done for handling purposes? I thought that a shock was most effective in the verticle up position, but now I'm thinking maybe you do this for cornering where the angle changes. Also should the shocks always be mounted with the bolt running parallel to the frame at both ends? (like in the picture) or does this matter. I hope that made sense because I wasn't to sure how to word it.
