Shocks do transmit force. This will affect frame or strut rigidity.
yes, they do transmit FORCE. but in the case of the yaris, they transmit force in one direction. STRAIGHT UP. so attaching anything to the shock that doesn't resist this STRAIGHT UP FORCE (not weight) is useless, and should be considered a "looks-only" mod


guys.. just accept the fact that your spaghetti bar is mostly for looks. .
