Konis or Bilsteins?, What is being used on the track Options

[DanT]

Getting to the point of ordering shocks. Want to know what is being used by folks and what they think.
My car will be using 180# rear springs and 21 mm torsion bars and a 19 mm sway bar.
Koni adjustables or Bilstein sports?

the good thing about Konis is that they are adjustable.
the bad thing about Konis is that they are adjustable.

the racer guys - with engineers and telemetry - are tweaking their dampers all the time.

i spend most event weekends pretty close to being overwhelmed all the time, and if i'm doing much more than bleeding brakes and maybe tweaking an antiroll bar and taking tire temps, i'm probably either forgetting something important or doing something half-assedly.

at most amateur levels, the big improvements come with seat time. that means among other things you must be on the grid with your head in the game when the session starts. also - you can really only learn with a stable platform.

MHO - set up the car once, arrive, and drive.

plus i just like the feel of Bilsteins better. that's a personal preference.

if you go with Konis, my suggestion is set them up in the middle of their travel and for the first season, don't touch them again.
