Think about how much testing you'll have to do to get this shock right. You have 10 settings for the front and 10 for the rear. That gives you 100 combinations. Also keep in mind that you have to adjust both high speed shaft movement and low speed shaft movement.
All of this means you can dial your Corvette right out of the ballpark. You can get instant slow with these shocks. You've actually got a better chance of screwing up the settings than you do of getting them right.
I still prefer having Bilstein building my shocks for me.

I dont' about the new shocks but I have had single adjustables on my car for years and love them. But mine is street driven, as well as autocrossed. For me the only down side is that to adjust the rears, you have to pull the wheel and drop the shock. I Have drilled a hole inside the car and extended the adjuster yet like some because I tend to leave the rears on race setting.

If you guys want, I can do the coil overs with them.
I have done a limited number of double adjustable fronts....however, to do the rear it takes some work, and you will have to modify the lower control arm at the back of the car to do it, as the adjuster is built into the rod end.
We ran test versions of the doubles on the World Challenge cars in 2007.
