This might help. The last part of the video touches on rebound...

The best info I've found regarding building shocks and rebound.

I do do one thing a little different when building, however. Ty shows you to install the o-rings n such inside the shock, then run the shaft through. I disagree with this as I think it has more of a tendency to rip the seal. I slide the shaft through the body, then slowly slide the o-rings and spacers on the shaft. Next I'll use the black "washer/spacer" to gently push the seals into the cartridge.

use less rebound on loose/smooth tracks... more on high grip/bumpy tracks

Play around with the amount of rebound you set. I like my shocks with half or no rebound. Others like full rebound. Depends on what you like.

I always thought it was less rebound smooth/highgrip and more on loose bumpy

Less rebound will create alittle more traction, thats usually not needed on a high bite track.
More rebound on a rough track will keep the car on top of the bumps rather than following every one and getting caught up in them and eventually rolling. rebound will also help the car jump and land on rough tracks.

I've ben told another effect of rebound is the initial rebound off of a jump. Aparently a faster rebound will help[ the car spring into the air a little more. Dunno.
