Steve, anything over 400-450 for a car driven regularly on the street is going to be a bit harsh - at the rates I was using the only time I drove it was to the track. Stock Konis will handle anything between 500# and a stock spring just fine. Follow the link that Mikey posted for some dyno graphs - the problem is not that the cheaper hardware does "nothing" when you turn the knobs, its just not adjusting the things that you need. If you want to go higher in the future, you can have the shocks revalved to handle it.
