no-there really isn't any need to. It's more of a trendy fad than a functional thing. The difference between a cm or two wouldn't be noticed.

I mounted my Chronics at recommended, and they kill it everywhere. Then I mounted my 1080guns at +3cm mostly because they're a little longer than I'm used to. But I think it's dumb to have them center mounted unless all you're doing is urbans etc.
