Koni shocks: single or double adjustable? I now run a set of Monroe Sensatrack - a real POS - and want now to try the Koni's.
This is a daily drive, 275 tires, stock springs.
No drag races, I just need a precise handling on our (often too bumpy) roads.
For our cars Koni has two models: single adjustable and double adjustable.
Which one would you take?
Thanks - Stefano

Everyone I've talked to about the subject says single adjustable, so that's what I bought. Sam Strano sold them to me and we had a long discussion about it before I made the purchase.

Single 4/4 is what I like 
DA rears are known to blow out really easily compared to the SA's. And plus there like double in price.
Same uses SA's and he wins races

With your stock springs, the SA's are great. You can use the lower perches for a 3/4" drop on the front, and the hose mod on the back for a 1/2" or so. The DA's are pretty complicated for some folks to set up, and not really necessary for most applications.

Not only do I run SA's, but I *own* a set of DA's and do not use them. I'll sell you DA's if you want, they cost more and are a bit more fragile... but some folks just don't see the forest through the trees and more = better to them.
There are cases to use DA's, they are quite rare--I think I've sold maybe 3 sets in the last year.

I was thinking to buy a set of Koni shocks and a set of sway bars. Is that something you would be able to ship to Europe? (Switzerland)

I can, but I can no longer use the Post Office for that service.... they've really screwed up two international shipments and getting insurance claims paid is proving to be about impossible. I have a few shipping options, or if you have a freight forwarded here in the States I can ship to them if you like.
