I have longtracked & longtravel'd SRX with the Ohlins shock extensions already on, would there be any more benefits to fliping shock brackets?.................James

Can somebody post pic of the flipped brackets installed so i can see exactly where i have to grind off to fit shock...............James
Are there any other adjustments necessary after doing this or you just flip them and your done?

I am going to pick a angle gauge so i can check my camber to make sure its 0deg +-0.5 as per specs..........James

I did my brackets this week. I used a sawzal to grind the relief in both brackets which was quick. I used a file to make 2 notches to help with the cuts. Most seemed to recomend using one washer under the bracket's bottom when re-installing, but I found using a washer for both upper and lower holes seemed to work better. Make sure you use loctite when re-installing.
After doing the brackets and extensions on my ohlins, my camber appears a little on the negative side (inward) and skis a little toe-in. I still need to take some measurements, but from first glance, it looks like I need to make some minor adjustments.

Just saw a guy in EBay selling brackets, he is making himself for $25 plus shipping, i might just get these, because it would just take less time and hassle to just bolt in rather than modify the stock ones, I KNOW i am just being lazy............James
