Also, many articles have mentioned that bump valving is what will keep the car from bottoming out, and I've experienced bottoming out in Koni equipped cars that weren't excessively lowered. I've sat in cars with monotube dampers which naturally have more aggressive low speed bump valving and the difference is obvious, they are much more responsive and have better steering feel. People seem to avoid discussing the Koni's compression valving. I remember a post long ago in the rr/ax forum where an avid autocrosses switched out some high end jdm shocks for race valved Koni's and was confused because his car didn't feel as solid and tight under acceleration, braking, and turning. None of the responses mentioned the bump valving might have been the factor. The most obvious difference between the graphs I've seen so far is that most of the Koni graphs have a lot less bump valving throughout the board than the rest of the shocks. Please don't flame me, educate me.
