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 VWgeometry, 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..
