I just mean that some of these Chinese shocks don't do much at all. The new shock I installed on my son's bike didn't dampen a bit. He basically had just a spring. It was crazy over bumps; it would continue bouncing long after it should have recovered.

In your case, I think that the shock is being crutched by the coil, IMHO. As long as this new shock holds together and provides the ride you need, you're ahead.
