FCM Elite suspension analysis - Mitsubishi EVO X GSR vs MR, damping ratios, rebound to bump ratio

Attention suspension nerds, this video is for you! I visualize (via shock dyno data) and quantify (via spreadsheet calculations for damping ratio, rebound to bump ratio, including influence of gas force) the differences between the Mitsubishi Evolution X GS-R (with KYB dampers) and MR version which has Bilstein dampers.

In summary, the Evo X GSR dampers provide a better-tuned setup, still with drawbacks but on an overall smooth surface will handle well and ride well. The Bilstein MR suspension is highly-biased toward rebound on the front strut and will aggressively pull you down into the front bump stops. Bilstein MR rebound to bump ratio (including gas) is about 3.2 : 1 on the front, compared to 1.9 : 1 for the front GSR KYBs.
