Knowing what and how to adjust takes years of practice, shock dynos, corner weighting, etc. It's like with coilovers, people buy them and adjust them without having a clue as to what they are doing in terms of performance. Not to mention, have you ever used the adjuster cable on the D Specs?

Right but adjusting valving has to be done with track data. That's why the pros get custom valved shocks. A lot of engineering has gone into the stock setup, you start messing with valving for track use and it will get likely be worse than stock.

Now getting adjustable shocks for comfort is a good idea on a lowered car.
