Re: [doc] Shock Absorbers

["andrew986186" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

the ol' putting the front springs on the rear trick is a debate 
which has been filtering through the graping vine down south here 
for a while.

Some yank came up with the idea, and its spread like wildfire

Personally I wouldnt do it _ but that being said I havent tried

so long as the spring sits in the cup and tower I cant see it being 
a problem, but it wasnt meant to be there

And as far as handling concerns are for the rear end, I would be 
more concerned that my TAB's were in good order - it makes such a 
perculier feeling when they are shot - like underinflated tyres

Wait for Martin to come along in a few messages, im sure he'll put 
his 2p in - !!    :-)

Happy new year everyone
lots of love
