This has probably already been said, but the fallacy with restricting shocks
to single adjustment, would just up the cost for the special shocks. Most
folks I know with the trick shocks don't readjust them hardly if at all once
you find the setting that make the car work. How to get around the new rule
you propose. Easy, first you make the double/triple shock, experiment and
test to find the best overall settings, and then build a single that has the
found settings for that car. Now you are buying two expensive shocks. How
doe this help?
