    like what? i have not much technical knowledge about shocks, but i can't think of anything that would make them behave in a way that the others can't copy.

    One hint. If you copy others you are always like a railway carriage in the train. You can do what you want but you will never come to the railway station ahead of the engine.

    Ogier used ZF in Fiesta on gravel also, now (2019) it's only ZF who delivers dampers for Fiesta WRC, both gravel and tarmac.
    Citroen tested different dampers in their C3 on tests before the season, seems Reiger fits them best. And it can be because of many reasons, as every top damper brand is different than the other, but they all are top. No sense to go into too many details here.

    of course they can behave different at extreme conditions/temps/very rough gravel etc.
    Another point is how sensitive are, when you change settings/clicks

    Another point is how driver feels for the setup or the cars behaviour. His experience etz. There´s not one answer to which setup suits drivers best. Not even brand on suspension...

    It's worth changing from damper company A to B if the driver knows how the B dampers work instead of having to test all 50 models from A.

    Changing dampers may lead to much more radical change in the whole car setup. Each case is different and IMHO there is no such golden rule.

    Yeah I know, but if the driver is facing a new car and 50 dampers he doesn't know or a new car and 50 dampers he knows, the latter solution seems more safe...

    Will the new R5 Fiesta be on what dampers?
