Haninen can still drive the existing car as a test for the problems that the new parts are designed to alleviate and see if they are really needed.

Well last I heard they had a relationship with BOS and ZF, but Toyota is really happy with their high-end super lightweight BOS dampers. I can lift a complete damper so easily with one arm... amazing!
Didn`t M-sport state that they made a sole rights WRC deal with Sachs for 2019? And Hyundai (at least so far) only changed the tarmac damper supplier and it`s not Sachs...
Also Evans still has used Reiger on tarmac events this season, on gravel events he`s still been on Sachs.
Spoken with many mechanics in WRC/WRX teams, and the general opinion is it was not Sachs that was something superior in VW (both WRC and WRX) but VW:s geometry, for instance only for WRX they tested over 30 different geometries before they made a decision.
With a great geometry the demands from the actual damper is not as crucial as in a bad geometry..
EXT seems to still be involved with Hyundai: https://www.facebook.com/ExtremeShox/
