So my friend has a mod lite race car. These are the purpose built cars that have motorcycle engines. This car is very similar to a dirt latemodel, in a smaller package. The car is fast, but at times wants to bounce or pogo. (Load unload right rear). So last weekend the manufacturer provided a coil over to test on the right rear. It made the car handle poorly. Came in under a caution, crew member put the old coilover on in what I would consider upside down position (adjusting collar down instead of up, spring higher in car). Starting on the back the car rocketed to third before running out of laps. Driver says car is better than it has been in a long time. So the question is, what difference is made by turning the coilover upside down techically?
