I'm very interested in how the new dampers work, particularly on poor roads. Could be some interesting opinions once users try them.
One thing that does come to my mind, they must be more finely tuned to the spring rate and ride height, to get the full benefit of 'Lift-Related' (position related) damping.
I can't see them working the same with lowered springs, as the working range (within the damper) is then dimensionally changed. Can envisage a strange compression stiffness on the rear, and not fully benefitting from the stiffened front rebound.
Could end up having very weird/unsettled damping characteristics, if someone lowered the car by say 25 - 30mm.
We wait to see!
