do you know they are rubbing when you are racing? yes its something that is annoying but dont HATE AE just for that reason.
Nobody is "hating AE" because their shocks are so horrible.. .we hate AE shocks because the AE shocks are so horrible.. and YES it's a big deal, inconsistencies in a spring's spring rate (what happens when the spring binds) leads to an inconsistent car. The springs shouldn't bind on the shock body AT ALL... period.
