1. Yes, on GM products the higher the amps, the stiffer they get. (This is not universally true with other manufacturers.)
2. Yes, you can globally change the dampening in a linear or non-linear way depending on what you want.
3. Yes, you can get very precise with when you want a certain level of dampening. It has several tables with triggers to change. The benefit is that you get a high level of adjustable settings, including soft settings for street driving. You can also have separate calibrations for each of the suspension modes (tour/sport/track). You could program three different "track" modes for different tires or tracks.
You clearly understand the benefits. I am using slightly above basic tuning on the unit.

- Finally, based on one of the youtube comments, you could instead go to the separate tables for low, medium, and high-speed damping of compression and rebound to leave compression damping the same and adjust the low-speed rebound to compensate for the stiffer springs, right? This would probably be the way to go about compensating for stiffer springs.
If all the above is true, then right off the bat you essentially give yourself six-way adjustable dampers by installing this controller, which is pretty amazing if you understand damper adjustments. It's also way, way cheaper than good 4-way shocks. |
