Suspension travel and forces are immense during hard cornering, hitting the curbs, braking and even accelerating, etc.
8mm difference is aboslutely inconsequential to "making sure it will last". Albeit it does lower the CG which is almost always better for performance.
But yes, ideally, we would all like the suspension to be calibrated just so. But in real world of track events it rarily happens. Not to this level of detail.
