I know radar Roy says it hurts performance, but what do you guys think?
Okay I have the zr4 I have g4 hopefully on it's way. Im just wondering if it really hurts to put the back shifter on the front plate, and run all three shifters?
I really don't understand how it would hurt? but I thought I would get someone else's personal opinion if they have done it or not?
I never see the leo's in ks or mo. hit from behind w/laser. and I think the rear shifter would do me more good on the front.
any real world experiences?

If it's just suspected to hurt performance I wouldn't do it.
Your also giving up rear detection BTW, which is important even if you can't jam very well from the rear.
Unless your up against an Ultralyte it should do fine. In my experience, even if you encounter an Ultralyte you can probably beat the Punch Thru anyway, if your on you're toes.

I'd like some secondary confirmation, before mounting the rear head to the front.
Roy is a knowledgeable person - and I think he might have specifically questioned Escort to those ends. If they're saying that it mis-sync's, that's a legitimate concern.

X2. I really think until there is some confirmation (via testing) one way or another... its better to hold off on it. I can't see that Escort (or Roy) would say that if they had no concerns about the issue...
Okay, I'll hold off. unless someone test it and it proves to help...

At one of the CFL tests (#2 I think) we tested the ZR3 rear head ONLY on the front of my car.
It did decent on center mass shots, but headlight shots were subject to PT's. I'd think mounting the other two heads out by the headlights would help, but we didn't test that.

I have run 3 different ZR3's on three different cars. I have been "saved" in all three cars and tested two of the cars with the CFL group.
All three were in standard form (2 front, 1 rear) and they all worked as advertised. I don't know if all three up front hurts, but 2 front, 1 rear works well.
I just opened up my new ZR4 and noticed that the cable for the rear head is about twice as long as the front. Maybe this has something to do with the "timing" difference? With the current in those cables traveling at nearly the speed of light, it shouldn't make that much of a difference, but then jamming seems to require abnormally high levels of precision.

I think the cable length has more to do with ease of installs.
I don't think that the cable length has anything to do with it. My guess is that the rear shifter has a much broader emission beam pattern which could conceivably be picked up weakly by the two front shifter heads if the rear shifter head is also installed up front. Possibly the result could be that the two front shifter heads then start trying to shift the weakly detected shifted emissions from the rear shifter when it too is installed up front? This is just a wild guess.
Heck, this post might be the first time I have pegged out my BS meter in quite some time!
