You are missing the whole point of the SA Konis, as Sam has mentioned they are only adjustable for rebound and is why I bought the DA so I could also adjust the compression settings. If you run the SA on full rebound setting then you are taking a risk of loosing traction on long sweeping corners (like an on-ramp) as the suspension will "jack-down" until you are on the bump stops. When that happens your spring rate goes throught the roof and you loose grip which can be dangerous in a situation like this. 
Please don't risk your life out there showing your buddies just how fast you can take an on or off ramp until you fully understand how to set up your suspension, plus your ride quality will improve.

I'm pretty happy with my HAL QA1s, but I wish I woulda waited a couple weeks.. they came out with the dual adjustable right after that. I use the adjustable shocks because it helps out at the drag strip, and firms it up nice for driving.
The install on HALs is kind of a bitch, though.

Landon, I got the order and it's placed... just want to make sure that you indeed have LS1 Pro-kits (because his email addy is something like whitemaro97).... The LT1 and LS1 Pro-kits are quite different and need different valvings.
Bilstein is just now reopening after the holidays.... order will be placed as soon as you confirm the springs for me and the shocks will be built within a few weeks.
