I have Koni adjustables on 1.5 turns and they work a treat, at this adjustment they still retain comfort but so much better control.
Well worth the xtra over other cheap brands, as the saying goes you get what you paid for.

yeah ive looked at the adjustable ones seem pretty decently priced too with a whole set for circa 300, and it give me a chance to mess with the harshness lol

I was told by a couple of tuning companies that the Koni FSD's won't work with lowered springs, so I bought Koni adjustable shocks for my vRS instead & they're bang on.
