I've seen some buggy's similar to this that have a very aggressive forward attitude on the front shock towers, in that the top of the front shocks lean forward drastically. Is there some theoretical advantage to this, or is it just a personal asthetic preference?
Thats is when the shock mounts are on the upper arm rather than the lower arm as you see on this car. The angle is to allow full up travel without going too high up on the shock mount. I am no suspension geometry engineer but I believe it allows more efficient use of the shocks travel.

Hey, can I get your email buddy? We are making our senior thesis project for the Baja and we thought maybe we could have a quick chat with you!
