As a double adjustable shock owner, I don't think the adjustments are complicated or hard to understand.
One of the biggest benefits is being able to turn the bump down after and event. This allows the commute home to be more enjoyable.
Also, I adjust bump based on available grip. As grip goes up, so does bump, and vice versa.
Double adjustability allows for tremendous flexibility.

The Evasive Eibach R2s seem to be a track day setup with their 16 kg/mm springs. Evasive has sold dozens if not more than a hundred sets. Does someone here use them? Can Evasive get one of their customers to chime in?
I was looking at the R2s as an alternative to the Penske 7500DAs for B/Street autocross. However, my driving did not advance as fast as I had hoped and the car handles well enough and is fast enough (Nate took it to a class win and 11th or 13th in PAX in a very competitive field last October) as is until my driving improves.
I will agree that softening up the compression for the drive to and from the track makes a difference. However you do still feel every expansion crack on the highways.

As a double adjustable shock owner as well, my issue is getting a great ride/handling car in day to day operations. I got the "fast" setting dialed for autox. Exactly the opposite of what people have issues with lol

Started off with
FRONT BAR - Karcepts
Rear Bar - Miata Bar
Front Springs @ 700lbs
Rear Springs @ 562 Lbs
w/ high/stiff compression/rebound settings
After months of debating and finally having a co-driver run a couple of events it gave me good feedback that made me realize that I needed to tweak the car because I couldn't push past my limits so....
Removed rear bar
Softened the valving on the rebound/compression settings
and placed the bar on a higher setting higher
made the car feel amazing and planted in sweepers and slaloms which was my problem from the start.
Just know whatever setup you do decide to purchase -- you will have to tune it to your drive style. All drivers are different with their own setups and own different styles ,but at the end they are fast because they are comfortable and know the limits of their own vehicle.

I've had them on for 4 years. Never an issue and no leaks. I haven't searched for anyone to revalve them. But when the time comes I was leaning towards using Guy in SoCal to refresh them.
