What does this mean for performance ??
When the IAS valve is open
1: It allows the damper to run cooler due to the fluid
bypassing the rebound valve.
Result - The damper runs up to 50% cooler than most others.
2:When the valve is open it improves traction because the rebound force is not restricting the outward movement of the damper, therefore the wheel is is near constant contact with the road.
Result - Better traction
3: The valve operation allows you to run heavier spring rates without inducing understeer or oversteer.
Result - A more stable chassis
When the IAS valve is closed
1: The damper acts in a normal function
The IAS valve only opens when the wheel wants to extend from the chassis. The valve relies on the extension velocity of the damper piston rod to open the valve.
You do not need rebound force to control the extension of the wheel, the faster the wheel returns to the road the more traction you get.
