Default Calculating Damping Ratio

Please forgive me if this seems like a question that only an engineer would ask, but has anyone calculated what the damping ratio is for different A and B distances? My car has the black, sealed dampers (which I believe contain 500cst?).

It would be handy if the damping ratio remained essentially unchanged by adjusting the A distance only (at least for relatively small changes), and considering how well the car is engineered, it wouldn't surprise me if this were the case.

Does anyone have a graph or spreadsheet they can share showing damping ratio vs A and B distances?
