Here is my very amatuer answer to your question. If relocating your coil-over shock results in it moving farther for each inch the wheel moves up and down, you have effectively increased both the spring rate and shock absorber rate. If would be like putting in stiffer springs and shocks. If the relocation results in the shock moving less with each inch the wheel moves, the result will be the opposite. Whether the result is good or bad depends on whether the spring and shock rate was where you wanted it in the first place. Again, I am just a fellow amatuer, so get another opinion please.
