Do you have any experience to back up this, or is a theory?
I've used a few different shock setups with a few different springs....and its never become an issue.
Koni Street adjustable, Afco double adjustable, Koni SPA1, and factory shocks with
Small block springs, 260lbs/in rate springs, and 212lbs/in rate springs.
Never become an issue.
And what exactly is the change you're suggesting to be made with the shocks? where are they going with the valving?
I'm not saying you're wrong, simply interested in the facts/testing behind this.
I've what i would consider quite a bit of extensive research on stock based suspensions, including designing and building my own bolt-on subframe....and i've yet to come across something like this.

my statement is based on theory, and experience from some suspension guys who know their stuff. now, i'm talking about street driving rather than strip, just to clarify.
maybe i'll explain further tommorow, i'm just too tired right now
