Adjustable Shocks/Struts for a DD...worth it?
I plan to take my car to the track at least.... 5 times a year, and I also DD my car.
My rear shocks are squeakin' and need to be replaced sooner or later. My ? is, should I get adjustables all the way around or just get regular shocks/struts?

I've got the adjustables and I love them. I'm usually a fan of tight suspension when I'm driving around on my own so I keep them set them 5/6. I was driving some people on a trip and they were complaining in the backseat about how bumpy the ride was so I just hopped out and dropped the shocks down to 3. It was a completely different ride.
I don't change them often but there are sometimes it's nice to depending on your driving circumstances. I've tracked my car a couple of times and its my dd.

No jacking required. I can lay on the ground and reach around each of the wheels to make adjustments. You have to turn the steering wheel to get at the front ones.
I snapped the picture below from just behind my rear tire. To give you perspective, the clamp on the right is the exhaustand you can see my driver side rear tire on the left side of the pic. The little dial on the bottom twist and "click" for each setting. I've done it with the car running before (just watch because the exhaust pipes are hottt).
