Which Adjustable Shocks & Struts?
 
Street driven Auto-x car, which shocks and struts would ya'll recommend? Koni red or yellow's or Tokico 5-ways. Which has the most adjustment and easier to use?

What class are you running and what spring rates? I run tokicos but I've never experienced the Konis. Next year I'll probably move up to Koni d/a's and stiffer springs.
The Tokicos just need a little screwdriver or a pocket knife to adjust. The fronts are a breeze, but the rears are not as obvious, they don't have the #'s (that I can see) like the struts do.

My rates are 725/230 on a '86 running CP. I have HPM mega-byte jr's and HPM panhard bar w/ SVO HD uppers. Aren't the Koni's only 3ways? I would think the more adjustability the better.

Same class and roughly same rates as me. Problem is, I haven't run the Tokico's in an event yet. First one is Feb. 26th, so I guess I really can't help you out until after that date.

More adjustability is not necessarily better. I mean 1,2 are pretty much too soft for those rates and 5 is too stiff (fronts), so your effective adjustability is not really that much. Now, I don't know about the Koni's, they might be the same deal.
