Default Koni - one or two adjustments?

What are the various Koni shocks that are avialible for f-body cars. I see some have dual adjustments and others are a single adjusting shock.

What is the difference; what exactly do they adjust? Are adjustments made on or off the car?

There are single adjustables (two sets) and double adjustables. All Koni's adjust rebound. DA's adjust compression too, and seperately from the rebound. But you can't go down on compression only up.

All fronts are adjustable on the car. Some rears are, some aren't.

Sam explained this perfectly, and from what I've seen... the DA's aren't really necessary on just a plain-jane street car. The SA's will suffice just fine. Now if you are doing constant track days and looking for every second off of your lap times that you can get through a fully adjustable suspension setup, or if you just have a few hundred bucks burning a hole through your pocket, then the DA set may be what you need.
