Did you reengineer them ?
Nope, they are the same shocks in both photos. Ahhh....now dim bulb goes on about some peoples comments related to upside down mounting. We have monoballs on both the top of the shock as well as the bottom (I believe that was a option specified by my wrench). Perhaps that was confusing some of you. We will in the end invert them. The obvious problem in the second photo is that we couldn't invert them as the adjuster wouldn't fit (and even if it did you couldn't really get in there to adjust it).

Inverting them in the final install will allow us to adjust them through a removable panel in the firewall. If I go to doubles down the road it will be pretty trivial to mount the remotes inside the car. Plus, we get the usual advantage of lowering the unsprung weight.
