Just my 2 cents for anyone that might read this thread. Don't blindly buy something because someone says it's better or because it has an adjustment knob. Each shock is going to be valved differently to be efficient w/ a spring rate range. Do the research on what you want. If a certain shock rides better it's because it's valved to be softer. It will have a lower spring rate efficiency range. If you're going for ride then it's all good. If you're going for trackability...do the research on the spring rates you plan on using to shock valving.

Keep in mind that Koni's SA is rebound. Not compression. Rebound adjustment isn't going to benefit the everyday driver. Most shocks are also rebuildable w/ custom valving. Buying a used set of Koni or Bilstein sports on the cheap, use the savings to send them in for custom valving would be about the best bang for the buck until you decide on the fancy stuff.
