are the Koni's adjustable -- i'm looking for a setup which will allow me to adjust the damper settings. KW V3 seems my only option...
very agressive/impressive front... eyelids will be on my list when they come out

Koni FSD's purchased through MadAudi.com. Impressive ride comfort with the Eibach Springs purchased through Tire Rack. The front Koni's were custom "grooved" allowing a few levels of adjustment to level out the front with the rear, when the rear tends to be a little lower. Without the grooves it would sit about 1'4" to 1/2" higher in the front (estimated).
NOTE - Installing "grooves" voids the Koni warranty immediately so the choice is yours. Risk vs. reward was worth it to me to have some adjustment ability.
Ride comfort is pretty good, even with 20's. Certainly a solid sport setup but nothing near as harsh when compared to my previous suspension upgrades on prior vehicles using Bilstein, Koni, KW, Tein, Eibach, H&R, Neuspeed components at various times in my life. This is the best ride comfort of any lowered vehicle I have owned and this was confirmed by more than one person involved in the build or driving it for photos. Good comments all the way around from my wife who is the most critical of "messing around with the suspension". She approves, even with the 20's, and actually likes to drive it. That is when I allow her on a rare occassion. Handling is solid in the twistys yet ride comfort is not bothersome or nasty. For a non-adjustable valving setup I can't see it getting much better.
