i've driven these mentioned setups on the street, all of them.
What problem is it that you're looking to cure by re-valving the shocks?
Many consider me a suspension guy in the know, i continously do testing on my ride as well as a few others.
Increasing spring rate would have a similar effect to increasing compression in adjustable shocks, since it takes a larger force to compress a stiffer spring.....a shock on the other hand, works at a rate of speed, so there are differences, but combined they work as a system.
However since the spring now sees more of the load that the shock is looking to slow down, i would imagine the shock's life is easier.....so are we removing compression valving to let the nose react similarly to how it would have with lighter springs.....and why are we doing that, what is the positive effect?
On the rebound side of this, the nose is going to "act" heavier, since the springs are shorter/stiffer leaving less stored energy, and removing a larger amount of stored energy per inch of travel.
Similar to having a heavier rebound-valved shock, the nose will be harder to lift.
What re-valving move is suggested for this, and why? what are we trying to accomplish by doing so.....by assuming this is not the effect we're looking for.
