Arno, I'm trying to get my head around the values you have in the table below the measurements.

There is almost no difference in the values, suggesting that different pistons are almost meaningless compared to the gap between the piston and the damper body.

I have to say that personally I feel that the effect of piston holes is over-emphasised by a lot of people, I have never managed to notice a significant change in the behaviour of a car just by changing piston (maybe a big hole piston feels a bit plusher over the bumps, but I am talking about either end of the piston range, not one step along), but these tiny differences are surprising to me!
