    birdcage question

    what would moving the left birdcage in on the axle tube cause? i know it stands the shock up more and makes the bars a little straighter. but would this help the car produce more forward drive off?

    Some say yes, it will help drive some. In my experience it didn't make much difference, if any.

      here is what we did. we stood the LR shock up by utilizing a further outboard shock mount and we also moved the birdcage in. so instead of the LR behind shock being laid over about 20* it is now probably at near vertical but still in at the top. we also have our gas shock in the front to help with the forward drive because we havent had any rain and they cant seem to put enough water on during the week to keep it from going dry slick.

        Seems extreme.
