Are you saying “compensation for aging” is a decrease in current output and, therefore, a decrease in voltage output (increase in damping force output due to a more closed damper valve)? I know 0 V is equal to max damping force (max closed damper valve) but it’s variable with piston velocity. Have you applied the same V to new and old edc dampers on a shock dyno and measured different damping rates (different force-velocity curves = damping rates)? Not sure how you could do something like this in a car without a data acquisition system recording V, piston velocity and damping force and, even with these data points, it’ll be impossible to repeat the same driven route.
