i hear all these good things about Koni shocks, but which ones does everyone have??
i was browsing Byunspeed's website and i came across these ... they say double adjustable, so would these be the ones i want?
the other choice they offer are these which are ~$100 cheaper
what would be the difference between these two? i am lowered with a pro-kit, so does that make any difference as well?

The difference between the Koni's has been discussed a million times. Hers's a link I just found doing a quick search:

SA Konis with the 4/3 combo is what I bought because I didn't care about the ease of adjustabilty on the rear shocks. I put the stock springs back because I was getting tired of the fear of scraping everything I came across and wanted a somewhat smoother ride.

damn, i searched koni but that thread didnt come up.... so the main difference is that you can adjust the "double adjustables" on the car, whereas the others you'd have to take them off?

The fourth gen shocks allows on car adjustment, third gen shocks don't. The difference in DA and SA are in reply #5
They allow you to adjust the damping rate of the shock. With DA's you can adjust both the compression (down) and rebound (up), and typically this is overkill for most street cars. People who use DA's are those who are road racing or autocrossing and want to fine tune every aspect of their suspension. With SA's you're adjusting the rebound, the compression setting is fixed. For the majority of people out there, this is enough adjustability to setup a good handling and nice riding car.

If you do a search, you will be readign for hours on this one.
DA's are high and very rarely ever needed.
SA's is what we use. 4/4 all 4 adjust on the car
SA 4/3 only the front 2 adjust on the car (easily anway)
