Awesome! Looks like the new shocks fix the dangerous mismatch of the old ones. Now that the rears have some decent rebound damping, maybe people will crash the cars less?

Less high-speed compression on both axles means a smoother ride over rippled tarmac. A teeny bit more low-speed front compression means more corner-entry understeer. Boo...
