Each set up should have desired limits of travel if you made a smooth, exact lap but speeds and angles of entry changes it all! At best we can only give extra leeway and let it do its desired job by the numbers and that's all! No compensating for other failures in the works! Variations as with springs is key to a job well done! It doesn't have to be in the shock travel direction but most put great store in fine tuning with high dollar shocks! I never found them more effective on my set-ups but having 40 to choose from gives some confidence in making it work! Its a simple thing-- just pull the pins and not loose the bushing or washer! Most can handle that as the need arises! Its just hard for me not to stay in the middle of all the changes on the track with a range that gets the job done no matter what from one wheel to the other by that variation to make the set-up react the same as needed! Most learn that after a while how much is desired in movement on each corner, how quick they want it to happen and what makes it so! Reaction time can be altered by load of off-sets and quick turns! I can see how complicated things can get with any change! Just one and not 3 or 4 at a time! It would take me hours to make adjustments in the shop to compensate for the moving one thing in trying to improve on a working range! This is because with the rest ready to stay put and do their job as intended, getting one thing to effect the rest is sometimes out of range unless on the wrong side of right! Trial and err doesn't always prove true once another change is made elsewhere! You can chase your tail or chop it off where you can't see it to start with! It may even wag easier and be more noticeable with a lot less moving quicker!!!
