OEM type refers mostly to the rear on are cars. OEM type coilovers are similar style to the rear. The spring is separate from the damper ( there not attached). The true type is a basic coilover just as the front is. You eliminate the OEM spring completely and install the true type coilover where the original OEM damper was. Hope this makes since. I have pics for the rear setup. But that will have to wait for I'm not at the house.
So far as DD I'm not sure yet. From what I felt it probably would be a little harsher ride considering the spring rates. But I don't mind it at all. That's me though. Makes it feel I'm in a race car all the time. LOL. My damper for now are set on 8 for know til I get a real good feel of everything. But I'll have to wait for the corner balance and alignment before I can give true feedback. Plus I put sways on to. So I'll have to play with those also. Hope this helps.
