its so you can adjust the geometry of the frame slaken or tighten the angels for looser or tighter handeling

no i know, i just dont think the shock would clear the top tube when the bracket is in the top holes.

This look's more like the owner over tightened the shock spring. Just look at the position of the spring adjuster and it look's almost twisted. He bottomed out the spring instead of the shock. And this is the result.

Your not supposed to tighten more than 2-3 rounds on the spring.

right
spring snapped after a fatigue crack formed after imperfection in the steel on the inside of the sping forming a crack then a impact has split the crack causing above
yes my day today was that intresting i spent it analising the break and other weird bits like that under a very powerfull micorscope counting the number of carbon atoms in th 2 sides of the break compared to the other side
