Difference bettween Koni SA and DA?

I see that the SA's are yellow, but what's the difference in the two?

The double adjustable shocks have two adjustments- one for rebound and one for compression. The single adjustables have only one adjustment that adjusts the rebound {I think}. Hopefully someone will chime in that knows for sure. If you are wanting to save some money, the single adjustables are pretty much as good as the DAs since most folks tend to leave the compression damping near the minimum.

That pretty much sums it up there, however I do believe that addition to the above, there are two spring perches for the SA (upper and lower, or rather a higher and lower) as opposed to the DA. Since I have used 8242 (DA) and not 8241 (SA), I can say that there is only one spring perch. I can also tell you that the DA's compression adjustment didn't benefit me as there wasn't many differences in the settings to greatly aid my cornering.

I can't remember where a thread mentioned the spring perch difference. I searched, but didn't find it.
