Corner weight adjustment shouldn't have a noticeable effect on the problems you're talking about, so I wouldn't worry about that as far as this is concerned.
Not surprising that JIC is claiming proprietary... you should dig around and see if there's any data floating around out there from someone else that's dyno'ed the same dampers. You probably won't find anything, but it's still worth a shot...
Is there anyone at JIC worth a shit that you can talk to for some advice/help?

Will do...
The only guys that was at all useful at JIC doesn't work there anymore, but I've picked his brain in the past. Unfortunately he's not running a "stock" JIC setup anymore... IIRC he's up to 10k springs on his car... that guy just likes 'em stiff! :shock:
Nate had some interesting ideas about going stiffer and staying linear. His thinking was that JIC half-assed it when them make the softer US spec coilovers (the JDM versions are much stiffer, esp in the rear). I was under the impression that JIC re-valved the shocks to match the lower spring rates, but there is a chance that they didn't change a thing, so going to the JDM rates would result in a better ride, albiet it with more NVH. 'Course at this point the NVH doesn't bother me... the rodeo bucking does.
