The rebound definitely has more noticeable changes with adjustment. Compression seems to be a bit more subtle.

This is what I'm finding. It's not that the forks aren't reacting to bumps etc, just that it really unsettles the balance of the bike the way they react. The speed they react seems all wrong and mismatched to the (now smoothly controlled feeling) back. Would emulators change this? (with the welding up the rebound holes and drilling dampers)
