External adjustable rear koni shock?
Is it worth the extra money for it? How many times have any of you who do have them adjusted them till you were happy? I'm about to order a set

It is really a matter of personal preference. I have externally adjustable rear Konis and I think the extra cost is worth it just for the ease of being able to adjust the shocks without removing them from the car. That being said I have only adjusted them once since installing them. However, I also started out with them dialed in pretty good because I researched how most people were setting them up before installing the shocks initially.
By contrast I had to adjust the fronts several times before getting them dialed in like I wanted them.

I went without them, but did a lot of research what setting to adjust them before installing them. Then again I'm the set it and forget it type of person. Even when I had AST coilovers on my M3, once I found a setting, i just left it even for track and autocross days. I haven't adjusted my fronts since I've installed it either. I basically set it the harshest possible for the street and leave it. It's a weekend driver/track/autoX car. For the money I saved going with non adjustable rears i was able to also purchase a ETS chargepipe.

Yes, if your car is lowered and needed more compression travel. Yes, if you want better damping through a more aggressively valved dampers. |
