hmmm... I dunno.

OT: If the Koni S/A's are adjusted to their softest setting, how do these compare to the stock shocks? Also the front seem to be easily adjustable from inside the hood. What about the rear ones? Do you have to pull out the wheels? Worse?

Sorry for the hijack.
On my old E46, I installed a set of Koni adjustable sports with a spring package. These Konis were adjustable without removing them, front and rear.

The ride, on full soft, was firmer then the standard Boge suspension, but the front of the car was lowered 1.5 inches, rear .75 in tandem with the new springs, so as less wheel travel was the order of the day as well it's difficult to say how much the shocks alone contributed to ride quality. However, I quite liked the ride and I never needed to turn the shocks more than halfway for autox.
