I don't have them, but I've heard good things. They've been used by good tuners on their cars. I'm debating between the Konis, Tokicos Illuminas, or KYBs, when I lower.

Yes they are easily adjusted, it's just a knob on the top you turn, one for firmer, other to soften the ride.
Unlike the 1st gen units, the rears had to be removed to be adjusted.

I have them. they have lasted a long time, and they are STILL strong. they have full adjustablity, so you aren't limited to "presets". I consider it to be the best replacement strut for DSM excluding coil-over struts. I am nto impressed with kyb (i have seen a set trashed before) and tokico are ok........i guess. the only thing bad about koni is the price.

Have fun!

i have tokico illuminas. they're great. they are pretty harsh on the hardest setting, even with 16's. i need new tires before i can push them to their limits.

The Konis are good, and depending on what you want they should have them like adj. or non-adj. Th Illuminas are the better ones which show in the price and adjustability. Unless you plan on some serious racing or autocrossing you can't tell the difference between the Koni adj and Illuminas adj. I have the 5ways and are very nice, even for the short amount of time I rode on them, they also have a lifetime warranty. I'm not sure about Koni's warranty but my Ground Control/Illumina setup is nic

Now my debate is between the Illumina and the Koni.
