I'm not Richard, but damper technology is one of the major improvements that have taken place the last 30 years. The better matching of compression/extension dampening rates to the springs and the changes made in fluids and circuits in the shock have helped it handle road contours better without elaborate additions such as inboard brakes. It has also allowed softer springs in applications that used to require stiff springs because the dampers can now better control the spring compression. This all adds up to a smoother yet better handling car (and motorcycle for those inclined).
