We ran bog standard AVO dampers in 2010 when we won EVERY single race in the HSCC HFF Championship and included 10 lap records along the way. I am the first to admit that they are not the best quality but everything should be kept in perspective. Everything needs to be 100% and the dampers are just one small item in a long list of things that needs to be right, including the driver. I guess what I am saying is that average dampers will serve 98% of the grid pretty well. Of course we all aim for perfection and there is nothing wrong with that but there will be no significant gains by just bolting a set of decent dampers on if the rest of the car and importantly, the driver, is not up to scratch.
