They feel that there may be a chance that the increase in pressure with the spring in the rear may cause the assembly to break through. I know other manufactures have this option so I am wondering if JIC has over analysed or if the other manufatures have under analysed?
I wondered about that... Since just about every other manufacturer makes a true-type coilover for the rear and no one has ever reported break through or even damage to the rear shock mounts; I have to think the concern is unfounded.
