This is very interesting. I wonder where I might find some, and
whether they'd be worth the money (rather than getting, for example
the spax kit).

Seems to imply that there is some adjustment available.
As does this article:

Of course one can stiffen up both jounce and rebound by putting in
heavier oil.
Does anyone have a pointer to an exposition on how to tell if your
shocks are too stiff or soft in either jounce or rebound?
