Default 210v2 rear mounted shocks

Got my shocks mounted on the rear of my 210v2 but the springs seem to catch the rear camber links is this normal or do I need to space the shock out on the tower ?

This tends to happen on my V1 too, but only when I have the car set to the longest wheelbase.

One would expect they would have solved something like this with the new suspension arms, so perhaps it's worth checking if you have the arms the right way around? (They are not symmetrical)

I just changed the rod ends/ball cups as the ones on the rear are slightly bent at an angle to avoid the motor plate. I put straight ones on there and they work fine, no catching of the springs

Hi Jon, on my v1 I needed to space the shocks out on the tower. This also gets the shocks closer to running in line with the arms.

so one mid motor config I see if you want to run the shocks on the front of the tower you can only use the top 2 holes on the tower is this right on the v2
