U guys adjusted them front and rear. What is the firmness setting u are running on each corners?

I am deciding whether to go with Bilstien or Koni.

While Bilsteins come in only one frimness (which is firmer than stock A4), Konis are freely adjustable.

I have heard that Konis are very hard to have them perfectly adjusted . Is that true? How can u determine that u have the same firmness setting for left and right?

Are there clicks, steps or any kind of indicator to clearly show the level of firmness that u choose? (Somting like a knob with firmness number labeled on it)

The thought of having them removed for re-adjusting after realizing that I don't have balance setting scares me from buying them.

I really need yer input
before I make a decision,
Thanks!

You can always dial them to zero to "recalibrate". Pretty simple. I would definitely go with the Koni's over the Bilstein's if you do race. If your not racing the car you don't need Koni's. Being able to dial the shocks down for long trips and dial them up for racing is very nice. It's like having two cars in one.
