Default Tokiko adjustables or Konis??????

I am getting ready to get a new set of struts, I have a 94-cx lowered with a set
of Eibach sportline springs, @1.6" drop I think.
Anyway, I would like to know the other users think about the Tokiko Illuminas
with the adjustable strut rod, or the Koni blues,
Eibach told me they recommend the Konis, but I like the idea of the adjustables.
Any info would be great,
I did not post this in the Autocross forum since I do not Autocross the vehicle
but figured the weight of the hatchback could have an effect on the way eight
strut would feel.
Thanks for any responces, an/or usable information.

Are the koni yellows adjustable on the top of the strut rod (for the front)
And aren't they adjustable on the strut body on the rear?

Wouldn't the illuminas be easier to adjust?

One last thing, are the adjustments in three settings or more?
I.E. soft, medium, and hard.

They dont click or anything. You just turn them. You have to be exact to figure out your settings. You do it in fractions of a turn.
