I understood that the suspension spring offered resistance to the compression and the damper controlled the undesirable effects of the spring recovery.
I admit this is only a fundamental approach and technology has taken suspension to several new levels over the years, but a damper fighting the compression action of the spring seems pointless to me, as a matter of principle.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not arguing with anyone on this, just trying to get a better understanding....
That's how I understand it too ... if you have enough load/force to fully compress your springs I think something has gone horribly wrong.
