Re: shock efficiency and mounting bolt direction

With quite a bit google research and few other sites. Both have benefits. Perpendicular to axle seems to be best for handling. Plu easier to mount outside of trailing arm and very slight angle into frame and 90* to axle up and down. Seems slightly angles in helps with axle articulation too. Top mount allows dbl shear mount which is always better.

While probably minor detail. As crewchife on few pro drag cars I have learned littl thiung add up to big when take all you can get approach is used. Kind of like taking 12oz of car nothing but do it 20 times and you have a hundredth plus and have had dn'q by .002. Now I take all and grab for more.
