The reply on the specific height of the rebound curve was that for the 1M it was needed to stabilize movements of the body and wheels after a bump. The curves as they are, were specifically engineered for the 1M and my speculation is that they were tuned spending a dis proportioned (many would say the right) amount of time on a relatively smooth track.

Would love for this thread to analyze different damper behaviors vs what we see in the curves, but in my experience, as confident and gracious as ///M was to provide the OEM curves, no competitive damper supplier approached since was willing to.
