what happens if I connect the steering links to the most forward holes (shorter bar) or the rear holes (longer bar)? What are the drawbacks?

Thanks in advance....

I found this on ofna forums.

The front hole will provide the least amount, good for open large sweeping tracks.

The middle hole is right in-between
