Shock mounted angle

[Fifty]

Hey @ADSRACINGSHOCKS can you do an article on shock angle and it’s effect on ability?

Meaning if you take a smoothie, and mount it at 90° to full compression it will have a base valving percentage (essentially 100%)

Now if you lay it over at 10° forward, how much does it loose to leverage? 20°?

What is ideal for leaf’s if you can’t get 90° at bump? A arms?

What is the max angle where you should really consider redesigning everything?

Any other voodoo magic info?

Ps, I’m a fan… kisses… juiciest of kisses… and I know I know, fords are better.
