Default C3 Stock Damping Ratio

I am working on a suspension oscillation calculator for one of my engineering courses and the only information I am struggling to find is the damping ratio for the stock C3. I am also trying to find either the damping ratio or damping coefficient for aftermarket performance shocks, but I haven't found any manufacturers publishing this data. I know there's some pretty smart folks on here, so I figured I would ask here. Does anyone have any data/know where I could find this data? Thanks in advance!

I have found very few mfgrs want to furnish their valving information. Koni and QA1 do. Here is QA1 data for three levels of their shocks.
