Default Koni Shocks

Ok so I am gonna lower my car and have decided to go with Koni shocks. I have some springs to lower it 1.75 inches, do i need the koni adjustables? Or can I go with non-adjustable. Tornactive.com advertises neuspeed/koni shocks for cheaper than most places, but they are neuspeed/koni, not just koni. SHould I go with the neuspeed/koni shocks or the regular koni shocks advertised on modacar or ebay?

You will like the adjustables much better. It's not necessarily a question of need. The non-adj. will work, but they're not as nice.

I would go with adjustable. Being able to change the handling and ride characteristics is worth the extra money IMO.

The difference between neuspeed/koni and straight koni is the length of stroke of the shock. If you are going to be lowering your car significantly, the Neuspeed Konis are up your alley. Otherwise, I'd stick with straight yellows.
