any ideas?
My take on it is that you are moving weight forward when spacing out the front shocks and rearward when spacing the rear shocks. Many times if your car is a bit pushy moving weight rearward will liven up the front, or if too twitchy moving weight forward can deaden it.
That said, I think the change on the track is quite small, I would use it as a subtle change when your setup is quite close and you just need a tiny bit here or there.
