Location: Guildford		So where are your rear shocks mounted to?

Look to be running at quite an angle :| surely that would change the damping rate quite a bit...

yes they are mate but wont really affect damping rate
think about the way rear shocks are positioned on the peugeot 205 106 306
they seem to work ok so wouldnt have thought i would have a problem
ive run it like this for a while with the displacers on the rear and it really stiffened the rear end after fitting these

it's ok if you can't manage, i was just wondering how you have mounted the shocker and given the extra support,

i know how the pug setup is like. so basically you have done the same ??

yeh mate where the pug shockers mount to the rear subframe at top i have just bolted some brackets to floor and mountd shocks to them
i had to use rose joint bushes in shocks as they are slightly offset from lower mounting to clear anti roll bar
