A shock absorber for a vehicle including a pressure tube defining a fluid chamber, a piston body disposed within the fluid chamber, and a valve assembly. The piston body divides the fluid chamber into an upper working chamber and a lower working chamber. The piston body defines a first bleed passage and a first blowoff passage that each extend through the piston body between the upper working chamber and the lower working chamber. The valve assembly includes a restriction disc including a ring, a first finger extending radially outward from the ring, and a second finger extending radially outward from the ring. The first finger is configured to cover the first bleed passage, the first finger having a first bleed orifice, wherein the first bleed orifice remains open regardless of position of the restriction disc. The second finger is configured to at least partially cover the first blowoff passage.
