    thanks madrone
    where do they go to be "dropped in?"

    I'm surprised the newer rice racers DON'T have independant ride height adjustment. thats such a critical variable.

    The shims go between the top shock mount and the frame. Some shims have a cut out in them so you can slide them in without having to undo the shock from the frame. Either way it's a bit of a hassle but then again, how often do you need to change ride height?
    Once I get mine dialed I leave it alone.
    no regrets
