But do tell us what you think of yours. :)

The shocks I have have really made a difference on the auto-x course. That high bump valving, in the rear, has really helped the car rotate and the adjustable bump, in the fronts, has helped in dialing out some wheelspin. We are currently running full soft on rebound on both ends. We were running full stiff on rebound in the back, but backed way off trying to cure a problem we are having with the brakes going into "ice mode" when we lift a rear wheel. It has helped, but we still have the problem. In fact, it cost Will a win (and $100 to the tire fund) this last weekend at the San Diego Tour when the car "iced out" at the finish and he hit 3 cones
Anyway, it sounds like the RedShift set up will be fantastic for those looking for performance and everday comfort with the adjustment offered. Chris and I have been Koni fanbois for awhile and you cannot beat the performance and adjustability for the price.
The one caveat regarding installation has to do with the drilling of the stock top mount for the shock. Have this done by a machine shop that really knows their stuff. Mine were done by the guys who installed them and they did a piss poor job. The driver's side mount makes a lot more noise than I like because the hole is not right. I will be buying new mounts and having them re-done very soon. Maybe RedShift shoud offer pre-drilled mounts...
