my source for the damping rates was the factory shop manual. it doesn't give the numerical values; it only stipulates that they are different. i agree that the shorter RoW spring rates should be higher due to reduced suspension travel. that doesn't necissarily mean that they require additional damping, though. a given spring rate can be adequately damped any number of ways depending upon the desired handling effect; there's not an 'ideal' ratio that mandates a specific damping rate to spring rate.
if anyone knows where to find the numerical compression / rebound damping rates for the various parts, please post. i'm sure a lot of us would like to see what they are.
