I think 2 way adjusters on a road car is way overkill personally! If you are a regular track day driver then maybe, but even most of the guys I race with are using single adjustment.
Some really good 1 ways with the right spring rate / matching damping rate would be enough.
But if you decide on 2 way, spring rate selection is the most important part imo. Too stiff and you will end up compensating using most of the lower end of the damping range.

Am I correct in thinking that the bigger the arse, the greater the sensitivity to suspension tweaks?

All things considered, I'm sure I could set up the V3's, but MB and TGM/Phil have convinced me to go for the Bilsteins. Plus I won't have put up with CynicG banging on endlessly anymore
Thanks all......

Not planning to order anything until the car comes out of hibernation at the start of April.
So, what about top mounts? I sold my OEM suspension to MB about 6 years ago, so I can't use them.........

The Billies are rather lovely.
