Front shocks

[istock11m]

Bought an 06 Larson stock car and it has the front shocks mounted on the uppers. I've always heard this was a bad idea. Looking for someone to explain why.

This car came out of Kansas. It is a well built car and ahead of it's time for an 06. I'm gonna change the front bay bars. Just wondering if it was worth it to put the shocks back like they were. Thanks for the advice Jeff.
