My bad.  I meant to say a conversion of the shocks to double
adjustability.

Just wondering if any of the top notch roadster autocrossers are using
double acting shocks.  I've heard that they significantly improve
autocross handling, but to get my Koni's converted to double acting can
cost $150 to $200 each.  Any thoughts from experiences?
Thanks in advance.
