How did they compare when it commes to cornering?
Lets say you do a quick sharp left, right, left, right turn. I would think that the girling (hard on compression) would help prevent the car form leaning, since it would have to overcome the shock resistance. But, with these hard-in-easy-out shocks, maybe the other side of the car will just 'rise' a bit, since they're easy to extend, so the net leaning of the car will be the same?
The konis are adjustable on the rebound, like Phil mentioned: (there are two small pins in the top of the outer cap (i havo no better description) which, -when fully compressed-, can hook into a 'thingy' at the top of the cilinder/shock. By turning this 'thingy' youre able to adjust the rebound on them. (you'll have to take them of the car to be able to do this though)
So, I guess the hard-in-easy-out shock will be more harsh when driving on uneven pavements and bad country roads. But I presume, bumps will allways come through harder, not only at low speeds I mean. The other shocks, easy-in-hard-out, will be more comfy on those bad kind of roads, but might be less preferable with track-like driving. Would that be about correct?
So should I be better of using the konis (easy-in-(adjustably)hard-out) for a daily driver?
Thanks again all, Ben
