Mechanical engineering question.

you become underdampened, and you experience a bouncy suspension. with the 
medium dampening and high spring rate, you will get a high frequency bounce 
(~5hz) as opposed to the lower frequency bounce you get from blown struts 
(low/0 dampening) on factory springs (low spring rate).
