And if you changed the collars on the shocks wouldn't the spring rate/tension be different?
Who is the driver?

10mm of rebound is a lot of pressure to be running at

You don't have to run rebound at all! why would a car bounce on landing?

it is less likely to bounce with no rebound as there is less pressure inside the shock!

spring rate is changed by making it from different materials/thickness of material and number of coils... this cannot be adjusted by turning shock collars.

you adjust ride height with the collars, by altering equally in opposite turns then you can move the weight from side to side whilst keeping ride height.
