A tidbit of my suspension research on this forum

Very few people have a legitimate need for a shock that provides compression adjustments: Compression adjustment essentially is tricking car into feeling like a higher spring rate. If you have a spring specd well for your setup, you really shouldn't need that unless its a full out track car.

And it overly complicates the shock tuning with both setting being adjustable.

Short answer Rebound lol
