Larry,
Tilting a shock / coil spring makes it swing an arc when going through it's range of travel. It also takes some of the rate out of the springs and makes the shock action softer. I have a very successful Round track customer that makes minor adjustments to the way his car handles by the location (tilt/angle) of the shocks.
