i will not claim to be a suspension expert because this stuff is highly complicated 
raise: but i feel i need to post up some basic idea of how koni sport adjustable shocks can be used to set the car up how you want...
I will try keep this as simple as i can :rollsmile:
adjustable dampening is not just for comfort/race you can also use it to control the way the car corners so you can get the best out of it...
koni sport are single adjustable this makes them easier to setup for the average person because you are only dealing with one factor
koni sport only adjust rebound (shock being pulled longer)
stiff rebound has much less effect of ride comfort than bound (shock being compressed) this means you can make it quite stiff without destroying your ride and get a good benefit...
The rebound damping controls the transitional roll (lean) as when entering a turn. It does not limit the total amount of roll; it does limit how fast this total roll angle is achieved. How much the car actually leans is determined by other things such as spring rate, sway bars, roll center, ride heights, etc...
too much rebound on either end of the car will cause an initial loss of cornering grip at that end which will cause the vehicle to oversteer or understeer excessively when entering a turn. Too much rebound control in relation to spring rate will cause a condition known as "jacking down." This is a condition where, after hitting a bump and compressing the spring, the damper does not allow the spring to return to a neutral position before the next bump is encountered...
generally koni sport around half way are good you can go softer for more comfort or harder for more control... by making the rear harder than the front you can make the car oversteer on entry... front harder than the back and you will get understeer on entry...
you really dont want to let the guy installing your shocks 'try' setup your car there are very few people that will know what they doing you are way better off setting them up yourself and its way more fun that way :rollsmile:
