Default shock piston 2-3 holes

Hi guys,

I bought the car used and took the shocks apart. I saw that there was a 2 holes piston in the front and 3 holes in the back. The holes are bigger in the 2 though. Does the 3 have more damping because of the smallers holes.

Thanks

Rear -

Similar to me except I've got full length ones on the rear.

I wonder if schumacher will do some proper 3/4 length ones as we all seem to be using them...
