I realize after all the responses that I've been too critical about shock's for street use. I used to race SCCA and am used to predictability in handling. The problem I have with Koni's is the price and the fact that they are only adjustable in one direction. That in it self makes for an extremely unpredictable ride when executing a turn at speed. Hope this clears up the issue. Thanks for the response.
