Does anyone know what the suspension damage indicators actually are?

The small red dots? Would that be te damper?

The red circle around the dots? Is that the actual spring?
 
What is it when the center of the car is red (roof, floor). is it the chassis, the engine/drivetrain, or something else?

From my experience the little red dot is barely anything, it slightly effects your handling. the red circle has more effect on your steering, you start to sway the the side, depending where the damage is, if it on the back, you can become more prone to oversteer. the big red one in the middle is the power of the car. When that goes red, the power its cut by a percentage I don't know and you are not able to accelerate as fast if you hadn't damaged it.

No they are definately different. I practice in arcade with full damage on. The dots have a distinct feel when they appear. The ride gets alot more bumpy. The steering isn't affected but the shocks definately are.

It a great way to practice with damage. Teaches you not to rely on walls. Especially in rally.
