Huh. Didn't know Koni dampers can be rebuilt to include compression adjustment

It's about time I rebuild the dampers that came with the Ground Control kit...Luckily I kept all the OE springs/shocks/strut/mounts. Should be a fun project for this weekend.

While searching for Koni rebuild/revalve services I came across ProParts West nearby (in fact I drove by it everyday and didn't bat an eyelash) and they have an option to rebuild and add compression settings. Hm...

Recently I've noticed that switching between stiff and soft setting on the dampers does very little next to nothing in how the car feels or behaves. After having a semi-pro buddy of mine drive the car, he confirms it...The dampers are not working properly. After 6 years and averaging 10 days on track per year, it's time to rebuild.

Hmmm, that's interesting. So the single adjustable Konis I bought from TC Kline should be able to be converted to double adjustables?
