However, other than ease of adjusting the rebound, I'm not sure what other benefits inverted shocks provide.

The type of rear inverted damper that the B16, Ohlins, and Flatout coilovers have, have no other benefits other than being easier to adjust the damping levels (which is worth it if you have adjustable rears). The flat out doesn't have inverted shocks in front (as evidenced by the external bump stop seen on top).
The only inverted front shocks I've seen are Bilsteins. In that case there's an additional benefit from the inverted design because the strut body slides over the damper body instead of just the piston shaft moving within the damper body. Since the damper body is so much larger in diameter than a piston shaft, it's more rigid and deflects less. You'd never notice the difference on the street though. |
Sorry the ST model is listed on the website, and spoke with them about the differences. OP has the SR which is inverted just in the rear.
Is that Bilstein setup offered on the F30? The Clubsport??
