just turn the shock upside down!! (i'm not sure if it fits that way cause i haven't tried it yet, havent seen my bike in months :S).
By doing this you will reduce the sprung mass in the rear suspension, therefore reduce the suspensions inertia, wich in theory will make it work much better

Can anyone tell me if this is true???
yeh, but not possible with this guys stinky as the shock will be in the way of the frame

it will also leave all the crap hanging around your seals.

Just clean your shock regularly.

would turning the shock actually have that much of an effect for it to be worth while?

nope apart form the crap,yes you could clean it regular but other than that any air bubbles will rise and float around your piston,creating air bubbles which will affect the shocks performance.
