[DeTomaso] single vs double adjustable shocks

[pantdino at aol.com]

 Probably depends on the price difference, how you intend to use the car, and how much you like to fiddle with things.
If you know what you are doing the second adjustment is a way to make the car handle more to your liking. If you don't its another variable to mess up..  :-)

If you intend to track the car or use it for long freeway drives it would probably make sense to get as much adjustment as you can, so you can maximally tailor the ride to the need of the day.

I should say that if the shocks are right for the car, adjustable shocks 
will not do any better.
If we know what we are doing, adjustable shocks give us the advantage of 
beeing able
to use another setting when we know it will do some good. Or, if we like to 
experiment
to learn about things.
Just to give an example. My own car has a pretty hard setting. If I like to 
take a longer
ride on the freeway, I might lessen the bump setting a bit just to make the 
transport ride smother.
But, the handling will suffer in favour for a smother ride.
Well, I am afraid this was not much of an advice.
