Well, that one is based on my logic. i dunno for sure really, but since many halfcut aftermarket shocks still work well despite the age... i am guessing not.What you might be feeling is the weight difference.. the damping you set is usually based on the weight of the front/rear of the car.. so when you put 2-3 passengers in the rear, totalling 150-250kg, it will make the compression damping will feel lower, and the rebound too high, so it feels different.so those adjustable motorised damping adjustment aren't 100% gimmick.. they are gimmicky, but not too much. Thing with adjusting suspension is that we are limited by the features of the damper. some dampers have compression damping adjustment only (if you need higher rebound damping, change shock oil). (basic coilovers) some have compression and rebound damping. (mid range) some have seperate compression and rebound damping. (high end) so definitely have to work with what you have to get the nicest ride possible. Also, harder springs aren't always a good idea. I run 12/10kg springs and I have to run semi slicks at the rear, else the car will be very tail happy. on the upside, my car has very little bodyroll, and oversteer is compensated easily.Sent from my GT-I9100G using Tapatalk 2---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 01:48 AM ----------well, if you run harder springs, it is natural the car will feel bumpy, as long as the bump is not bone jarring. Also, read the manual, japanese shocks usually specify exact starting point.. (usually near middle) so you can reduce setup time... not sure with BC shocks.but pretty much bumpy roads will never feel the same like standard car. If you want to compare, then compare the settings to stock lightweight continentals like golf/audi a1.. they don't take bumps well like normal cars too, but they are not extreme so they are a good baseline to know how a sporty suspension should 'feel like'. lightweight cars will never beat the comfort of big cars due to sheer weight.
