Default HAL QA1 Shocks

Has anyone here that has these shocks installed so the adjustment **** faces the tire rather than more accessible position with the **** facing the center of the car?. I'm advised by (blank installer) that installation with the **** facing the tire was done to prevent "suspension travel issues". Has the adjustment **** the size of dime and about 1/4 inch in height caused anyone trouble when installed facing the center of the car?

I've had mine on for over a year and a half, and my car is lowered. I have them facing the center of the car. The guy I bought them from, a forum dealer does a lot of racing with them and advised me to install them this way. Absolutley no issues so far.
