well, not necessarily...for street running progressive rate springs you
sometimes want simultaneous adjustment (bound and rebound)
to set your damp rate for compression to keep the car from getting that
loose, freeplay/floating feel until the spring rates come up as it
compresses.

if the bound rate is high enough on rebound-only dampers it would
work, but you never know until you try it... it could also be too stiff
from the getgo.

also, if you run linear rate springs it's easier to adjust using just
rebound...given that the damp rate is within the working range of
the spring.
