This is called 'Pack'

High speed damping is damping specifically aimed at handling the effects of high speed suspension movement independently from low speed suspension movement.

(or at least that's my understanding of it. please correct me if i am wrong)
So hole size and "pack" is a way of increasing the higher speed damping rates then ?

I like things in simple terms

Just out of interest can anyone tell me why Associated pistons work differently to the Losi pistons ?
