I haven't completely understood the purpose of the valve either. But from what I have concluded they should increase dampening slightly on the upstroke (compression) because they make the flow of oil more turbulent. Or something like that.
With valves you can tune suspension to progressive (allowing it to be stiff over small bumps, but get relatively softer over larger bumps) or regressive, similar to conical holes in pistons. But conical holes work only in narrow zone. But valves work on full lenght of shock travel. I like idea of valves in Z-car. But dont know realy how well shocks works
