Difference between rear shocks front/rear

[mark christopher]

keep seeing the shocks on the sx3 and sv2 mounted in front or behind the wishbones

why?
what difference does it make? (handling etc)

cheers

on sv2 makes car more agressive as takes away rear grip so better on high grip
Trish explained if running shocks rear 2.5 spring, front of tower 2.0 to get same effect.

running shocks of the rear of the cat also helped on slightly bumpier tracks.

There definitely better on the rear of the wishbones on bumpy rutted tracks like the track at my club, I tried them on the front for one heat and had to pull off early to change them back.
