I knew what you meant. Youre right, we (I) would need the plot to be interpreted by a tech / engineer

If not, a shock dyno plot is pretty much useless to you.
I just want to see a comparison, despite application practicality. Ohlins does better "here" while FA is better "there", etc. For bench racing purposes and curiosity.
How they work on the cars is a whole 'nuther conversation.

Well, like I said, I would like to see A comparison and contrast between the two. I'm not asking for raw data. I wouldn't understand how to interpret any of it.

Does Ohlins or the builder of them provide Graphs of their results? I'll post my FA one up to share and we can discuss if someone wants to share their Ohlins results. My setup is designed for autocross though.

I too wanted to know & actually called Terry at FA (left a message) but he did not return the call

He knew I was from EvOM & in his mind probably didnt want to get involved in a forum debate

I wouldn't either. They never end well. People always prefer to be negative.

I have to say this suspension is amazing on street . I did run out of tires very fast with it. But in this video very limited and short though, you can see how composed and precise the car with this suspension. We purposely testing this road. Very bumpy and uneven. with elevations etc. Perfect for a suspension testing IMHO.
