BlankErik (and others)-
I may be off-base here, but I have always thought there is ONE damper =
(not dampener) setting that is correct for any one spring rate/car =
weight combo. It is not a question of "stiffening the shocks up" when =
you 'crossing and then softening them for the street. Once adjustable =
dampers are set correctly for a particular spring rate, that's it....you =
don't change them (from the ideal) to match the car's intended use for =
that day.=20
The adjustability aspect is to A) let you match spring rates when you =
change springs (on a race car, usually) to match different tracks/ =
conditions, and/or B) allow you to compensate for normal wear of the =
shock....letting you keep the damping correct for more months/years than =
a non-adustable unit would last.
Am I wrong, all you racers?? Neal? Shawn? Scott? others?

Also, Tokiko Illumina or Koni Sports? I'd like to have the =
adjustability there so I can turn the dampening down when I'm not =
autocrossing the thing.
Eh?
