shock recomendation
I'm getting ready to get shocks/struts after installing eibach pro kit springs a few weeks back, I compete in autocross monthly, do 2-3 open track days a yr and daily drive my car. I'm looking at either non adjustables: koni str's or steeda pro action or adjustables koni yellows or tokico d spec. To save money I would rather go with non adjustables as they are 300 cheaper, but not if I'm going to regret it, any suggestions?
thanks

The Steedas work great, but I can't help but wonder about how Konis would be in comparison especially since so many people rave about them.
Currently my suspension is a bit bouncy for me, but I think that is the Eibach springs and not the Steeda shock/struts. I plan to pull the Eibach's off and replace them with Steeda Sport springs first and see if that fixes my bouncing concerns.

well it looks like the koni yellows are my first pick right now, but I have one concern, are the rears adjustable on the car? I saw a couple of video reviews where you had to take them off the car and compress them to adjust , that might be a deal breaker for me, kind of defeats the purpose of adjustability.

Resetting the adjustments of all four is about a 5-minute job, including the time it takes to pop the hood and trunk and peel back the trunk trim for access. My instructor at a track day last November was impressed enough by my car's composure to mention it in a little informal post-session debriefing.
Here is a look at adjusting the rear yellows. The tool is my own creation that's easier and more accurate to use and more durable than the tool that Koni ships with each pair of dampers.
