Is this a trick question? Shocks don't hold the car up. The springs do. If you remove shocks from a car at rest, the car doesn't fall down.
How many 4-link race cars you seen that don't have coilovers.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. The coil part of the coilover is what holds the car up. If you surgically remove the shock from the coilover, leaving the coil intact, the car is not going to fall down. The coil is the spring.
Anyhoo - you still need shocks anyway. It is wrong to assume the IC is in a fixed spot relative to the anti squat line, regardless of what suspension you have. Things like tire stacking, chassis flex, etc will change it. So you couldn't get rid of the shocks anyway. But in theory if you could magically force the IC to stay on the anti squat line and the track was perfectly flat then you wouldn't need shocks. Heck, you wouldn't need springs either - solid metal bars welded from the axle to the body would do.
Just to be clear, I totally with you, Monte. I am just . Everything you've said is and I'm not with you. I'm all and we should have a one day.
