A hydraulic damper spool valve comprising: a valve body adapted to be affixed to a main piston rod of a hydraulic damper; the valve body configured with openings (51, 53) adjacent its opposing ends, one of which openings is in fluid communication with an upper portion of the hydraulic damper and the other one of which openings is in fluid communication with a lower portion of the hydraulic damper to facilitate flow of a hydraulic fluid between the upper portion and the lower portion under operating pressures; a pair of hollow cylindrical valve sleeves (23, 25) defining a bore interrupted by a dividing section or valve body membrane and being fixed in relation to the valve body; the hollow cylindrical valve sleeves (23, 25) each configured with at least one shaped aperture (35, 37) adjacent an opposing end of the respective valve sleeve (23, 25) selectively adapted to hydraulically connect the upper portion and the lower portion of the hydraulic damper; a pair of valve spools (39, 41) each operatively configured to be moveably disposed within the bore (31, 33) of the respective valve sleeve (23, 25) and adapted to selectively block at any one time, all the shaped apertures (35, 37), or only the at least one shaped aperture adjacent the opposing end of one valve sleeve (23, 25), or only the at least one shaped aperture adjacent the opposing end of the other valve sleeve (23, 25); a pair of resilient energy storage members (47, 49) one of which is disposed between each valve spool (39, 41) and the valve body dividing section or membrane so as to bias the valve spools (39, 41) in opposing directions to the forces generated by the operating pressures in the hydraulic fluid of the hydraulic damper; such that when a respective energy storage member (47, 49) is compressed as operating pressure is induced at either of the valve body openings (51, 53), either one or the other of the valve spools (39, 41) moves relative to the respective valve sleeve (23, 25) so that an open area of the at least one shaped aperture (35, 37) adjacent the moving valve spool (39, 41) varies in proportional relationship to the pressure, thereby varying the hydraulic flow restriction between the upper portion and the lower portion of the hydraulic damper, while the non-moving valve spool (39, 41) blocks the at least one shaped aperture (35, 37) adjacent the non-moving valve spool (39, 41); and a compression hydraulic flow path structurally separate from a rebound hydraulic flow path to prevent backflow via the other hydraulic flow path during hydraulic flow in either direction, each said flow path (59, 61) communicating with only the at least one shaped aperture (35, 37) adjacent the opposing end of one of the valve sleeves (23, 25). a valve body adapted to be affixed to a main piston rod of a hydraulic damper;
