but the dampers are there to control that oscillation

so while you can solve the initial problem of 4 corner balance by simply installing the correct spring, in the real world most people just buy off-the-shelf units which are tuned for some median chassis/wheel weight and not your specific case.

in effect, you can use a damper's adjustability to compensate for that incorrect spring rate to some degree in addition to overall tuning.
