It's crucial that everyone understands that the "more damping" in these Ohlins (and other good shocks) is very different than just turning up the damping on some BC coilovers.

Lots of rebound damping with a soft spring is bad.

Lots of compression damping....done correctly....can be quite good with a soft spring.

Also a rally car shock dyno with good compression damping does not look the same as a track car shock dyno with good compression.
