1) Is full compression necessarily when the coils touch?

3) If the answer is no then the length of the spring may have an effect on the performance.
1) Surely full compression is when all the coils have touched and no more movement is available.
2) It should do if it's designed to be a linear spring.
3) Answered by the other two
I haven't come across any TC shocks yet where when the piston is fully in, the springs coils are touching. At most you compress the spring across maybe half it's full range.
