    Reverse strut

    What is to be gained with reverse strut front suspension other than increased ground clearance? Does changing the rear mounting point of the reverse strut up or down affect the way it loads the rf tire?

    If both mounts are at the same angle/plane and inline with each other, No the car doesn't know the difference. However alter either one of those and it does affect anti-dive and caster gain.
