Your basic point is right though! Unless you are very committed, these dampers are not realistic for a daily commute type life, essentially because it is very expensive 'overkill'.

The other thing to really keep in mind is that these dampers are only a Group N type standard (but without the full travel they should have!).... the proper WRC grades of damper suspension would make my dampers look and feel like toys.

Group N had/has a semblance of road car reality... WRC has almost zero.

Real top level WRC suspension can run to 40K per corner (!!)...and replaced a couple of times per day...

Daily use of WRC suspension would be a challenge, to say the least.

I cant begin to image the abilities of legit WRC suspension....
