Default Double adjustable, or single?

How many here are running double adjustable shocks , and to those that are, did you noticed a marked gain when moving from a single (rebound only) adjustable setup? I'm putting together ideas for my new suspension setup, and for what I wanted originally, I'm a few hundred dollars away from the cost of running a double adj unit. Curious to know if the added expense pays dividends with real results.

If you know how to adjust second adjustment it may be worth it, but I know serveral top autocrossers and club racers who use single's adjustable as it is just simpler.

I am running the double adjustables on my DS ITR and I can't do without them.

here in Quebec, our typical surfaces are bumpy and force me to run high rebound but low compression settings. However, when I get to a US site where the surface is smooth, I trick my ITR in thinking it has 200lb rate+ springs by cranking up the compresson damping. Trust me, the car does not react the same.

I have also ran courses, back to back, with no compression damping and almost full damping....the transitions are amazing....

Ask the people who watched my car go thru the first series of turns at Beaver, at the EXPO, taking into account I run OE springs, they were amazed to see so little body roll.

Koni double adjustable, revalved ...thanks Lee!
