The springs affect the bodies reaction to the weight transfer.
The dampers affect the rate at which the rear springs react to the transfer.

No argument there. Think we're talking about the same thing.
Dampers are all about the rate at which things change. Like Rebound and Compression.
Compression + Springs + a ton of other variables plays into squat. There is a noticeable difference on squat from a shock that's full soft versus stiff (you can notice it in a turn when you try to put power down especially).
You can see the minor squat here - #700 Springs and 6/12 Clicks of Compression
