Re[2]: Koni adjustment

[Ed Lutz <edlutz@domain.elided>]

I've found this Koni discussion interesting but have a question.
Seriously, does it matter? Isn't it sort of a chicken and egg thing?
Koni may have a certain intent in making an adjustable shock however
that doesn't mean you cant change the shocks settings to improve your
cars handling (or worsen it as the case may be).
