I could see the argument that they are adjustable, but for everyone that argues the need for adjustment, there are equal numbers of people that think you should set the damping for the spring/mass combo and leave it there indefinitely.

I don't know, just looking for some conversation on it since I will be the guy at Nationals on the stock dampers, more due to money than setup philosophy.
Stock ARE fine on this car. Some people find them a little too damped for their driving style, some find it underdamped. It's all about your driving style. I believe 50% on the Konis is close to OEM, which is where my rears are, fronts are slightly stiffer. I was one of the first to get them just because I wanted to test them.

I'm sure they are more useful than stock on rough lots or rain days but on smooth, dry lots, the OEM are pretty stout.
