Default questions about adjustable shocks

i just heard back from Tein USA and the dampers in the SS coilover kit adjust compression and rebound together.

i believe koni sports have compression fixed, while rebound is adjustable.

i know that having 2 way independent adjustability is the most desirable situation, but that is not within my budget. so am i better off having both adjust together, or is the Koni method prefered?

i am purchasing for my daily-driven and autocrossed (starting this month) 96 integra rs.

thanks for the advice,
phil

Go with what fits your budget, I have the Koni Sports and liek them very much. I auto-x on them as well. I think you'll find as I did that in the front particularly, having them set a little softer (3/4 turn-firm) as opposed to firmer (2 turns-full firm) is better. That is my findings anyway. I think you would be happy with them, especially considering the price compared to Tein.
