[s-cars] Anyone get custom-valved shocks?

Taka,
This seems like a great mechanical design challenge for Igor K!!
A mass-spring-damper type of dynamics problem.
What you ask for is fundamentally correct, because I would think, a 'lite' damper (shock) coupled with a stiff spring would be non-optimal. In the words of an ME, underdamped.
The question is: how would you specify the valving to be correct?, even if you DID find a vendor to do it.

My 200 in comparison crashes over bumps. Wondering
if anyone has gotten custom valved Bilsteins to match
exactly with your springs and if that would make a
big enough difference or not.
