I'll have to check, the reason I'm interested in the FSD's are they are almost the perfect compromise between good handling and comfortable ride. They act like a soft shock on rough roads, moving a lot and absorbing the shock of the bumps. On hard cornering, acceleration and braking they resist movement and keep the car level.

In fact, they did a test Koni Yellows, 8080?s (whatever the track version is) and FSD's and for the most part the FSD's scored higher than both, and had faster lap times. Yes, I do believe you can fine tune the adjustables to work better for a certain track, and if the track is really smooth, you can go stiff has hell, but in real world situations and in normal spirited driving, the ability of the shock to help keep the wheels planted on the ground through bumps and imperfections in the road would ultimately win over the adjustables.... But that is just my 2 cents

btw, I've heard that not that much more expensive than the Yellows, if not the same price. I'll call Koni tomorrow and find out.
