You could change the high speed resistance 500 newtons and only end up with a 50-100 newton change at low to mid speed. A digressive valving would be much more sensitive to adjustment (read: useful) in the low to mid speed range.

I can read the graph, but can't comment much on their damping levels... it's kinda soft compared to what we use on Mustangs, but they're completely different cars... different weights, suspension motion ratios, etc.
I was thinking the same thing about the low speed damping. The adjustment definately makes a difference in handling on the autoX course, but no matter what I still hop around on the freeway. I'm hoping that the slow damping is under-damped like I expect, so those soft tender springs in the rear will match the slow bump/rebound better, and stop the hopping around.
