Hi Steven,
My PI has adjustable Koni's at the rear, I haven't been able to try them
out 'yet'!!, so I can't tell you what they're like as a fast-road spec
shock. My dad's 2000 has non-adjustable Monroes which are on the soft side
and don't feel that good when it comes to the bends. And another good thing
about the Koni's is that they can be reconditioned.
 
I got a price of NZ$225 for front adjustable Koni's.

Dave
