Anyone ever seen anything like this for Koni yellows:

Doesnt exist for Koni's.

The koni ones I have only have 4 settings stage 0 through 4 for stiffness..... no reason to spend money on that elec stuff..... u can change it in 3 mins from the trunk with the turn knob they give u

Of course that's no different than most of the cars that come from the factory with adjustable suspensions - most have only three or 4 modes (i.e. comfort, sport, race, etc.). Obviously, the advantage is that you don't need to decide what you want before you get in the car, etc. If given their druthers I would guess most folks would be happiest (with a daily driver) in a "comfort" setting 90% of the time...with the occasional swith to race when that backroad hits.

Which is of no use at all. Electrically adjustable damping is a con-job. People press the
knob and the ride turns to crap and they think they're being sporty. But all they've
done is to slow their suspension's response times and make it ride like crap.

Now, electrically-adjustable springs rates would actually be useful. But nobody knows
how to do that, so they sell you this adjustable-damping nonsense.

flink - if that is the case then manually turning the knob on Konis to adjust them firmer when going to the track (as folks often claim to do) would be equally worthless - correct?

I think so. Making them stiffer makes the suspension take longer to settle in response to
transitions. Who wants a slower suspension??

You could stiffen or soften the suspension to fine-tune away certain turn entry or
exit problems, but to do that effectively you'd need separately adjustable
bounce and rebound, and it's pretty specialized last-few-percent stuff.

I think the main advantage of adjustable damping is to be able to tune the damping
appropriately for the spring rates. Once it's set, let it be. The dampers are there
to prevent the suspension from oscillating. That's a pretty simple function.

they're also useful in the 1/4 mile. the adjustment is for rebound but when the rear is stiffened it helps control wheel hop after squatting
