hey, um i was wondering if its possible to mount a rear shock upside down. does it make a differece. im looking at getting a Fox Vanilla RC shock for a 2001 norco Drop frame. and i dont know if it will hit or rub the seatpost. so is it ok to just mount it so the head part (the part with the sticker) is atached to the swingarm instead of the frame. thanks

Hey there

I have a Fox Vanilla R mounted down side up on a Mongoose frame and I cannot see any detrimental effects. The thing works fine.
