Rear had the compression 1/3 from full soft to keep the rear from hitting the tires too hard and bouncing off the rim....rebound was full soft. QA1s didnt have enuff dampening for my car to work like they should and the Konis work better for MY car.
off the T brake?

Wow, good to hear cablebandit. I'm not 100% shocked (ok, bad pun... let's say surprised) as I've had lots of reports of folks in the 1.5-1.6 range with Koni's on my lowering springs.

Good to have a new "best", and a comparison from someone who's had both.

yes. I love the Koni DA-s....my car is heavy and needs the heavier valving of the Konis. When not at the track i set them on full soft. They really need to be a tick tighter for better suspension control over bumps but I am ok with the tradeoffs
