I use AVO dampers.B rears are full rose bearing connections and front have a
rose bearing on the bottom and stock top with poly bushings.
front settings vary from 8-15 and the rears vary from 12-20 of the 24
positions.B
Remember your mileage will vary depending on springs, tires, and swaybars.
I had spax on my car for a while and didn't like them at all.B the
adjustability was not very good, the spitfire ones if i remember correctly
only adjust rebound (or bump i can't remember) and i was never able to really
see a differenct between the full soft setting and full hard setting.B I also
thought the adjustable spring perch was cheap.B it's a collar welded on
rather than a threaded body,the shaft is a small diameter.
I don't know much about the Koni's so I can't really say much about them other
than I know the adjustability is not able to be done with the damper on the
car.B you have to remove, compress, twist...

Konis all around. Full hard in back.
And thinking of sending them in to get revalved harder. Reason: Koni says it
results in better turn-in in front. When I reset the rears to full hard it
did give me better turn-in, just not enough yet.
