A recent post about this subject & a question from an email aquaintence prompted me to ask this.

The GCR does not allow the threaded sleave for a coil over to be permanently attached to a housing (the strut/shock). Can someone tell me what this rule was trying to accomplish? What advantage is there in having the threads integral w/ the shock/strut? Or what is gained by having them be seperate? It is clearly spelled out that coil overs are acceptable as long as the adjuster is not permanently mounted.
