What does damper do on coilovers?
Damping adjustments are typically best left for fine tuning and specific chassis balance. It’s the springs that absorb bumps and control body roll, not the shocks. They do so by compressing and expanding to absorb individual wheel motion.
What is bump rebound?
Bump is for compression (wheel moving up relative to the body), rebound is for extension (wheel moving down relative to the body). Too soft: car bounces and isn’t settled – think of modified, lowered cars that keep bouncing along the road after they hit a bump on the road.
What is shock bump rebound?
In general, rebound damping controls how fast weight leaves a tire while bump controls how fast weight goes onto a tire. Stiffer valving causes a shock to react more quickly. Softer valving slows the reaction of the shock. Stiffer valving gets the load to change more quickly.
