Also it`s not that big a jump between customer racing shocks and works shocks, mostly bigger weight reductions in works dampers but since they are limited by rules in what materials they can use it`s really not that big a difference. Different yes, massive difference no. And yes I`ve seen the inside of 3 manufactorers WRC dampers from previous generation cars. This years cars I haven`t seen but I doubt they invented something revolutionary that`s only available in the next decade to "normal" people..
In a factory damper you can build a more specific damper, more tailor made, thats the biggest difference. You can chose some different tech, and you have specific damper engineers working on it.

For me its strange if not one of the teams "take over" ZF Sachs, but dont know if its possible?
