Default is adjustable worth it?

ok so im looking at doing my suspension and on american muscle they have the tokio dspecs (http://www.americanmuscle.com/tokico...trut-0509.html) and the eibach pro dampner shocks and struts (http://www.americanmuscle.com/eibach-shocks-0509.html). my question is if its worth it to shell out the extra 100 for the tokio's adjustable feature? and also im assuming it would be ok if i got the eibach lowering springs with the tokio shocks/struts if i do decide to go that way right? i auto-x my car quite a bit and also take it to the track every now and then. so what do yall think?

IMHO for a car which is a DD as well as a track Toy then adjustables are a no brainer.

You might want to consider the adjustable Konis as they are currently on sale and the price difference over the D Specs is pretty small.

Almost every vendor has them on sale like tirerack.com, stranoparts.com, soloperformance.com, ltbmotorsports.com.

But, they are probably on back order.

Yep Sam has koni yellows in stock, my set came in yesterday. free shipping and Sam is a great guy to go back to and ask questions by all accounts. Anywhere else you will probably be own your own for adjustment.

The Koni SA's are awesome shocks, man. Go for it you WILL NOT regret it. Better handling, and less harsh of a ride at the same time!
They beat the Tokico's hands-down !!!
call Sam Strano, he'll hook you up
