I am probably at that point where I need some adjustability in a shock like you said.
I went back and read Carl C's post about the Hotchkis tuned Fox shocks and he said they worked great after some fine tuning by the guys from Fox. He made a comment that after the tuning, the shocks were "much more composed" so maybe he was also experiencing some bounce in stock form.

No doubt those shock are a big improvement over the average shocks you'll find on most cars. Based on your input Carl probably had them ramp up the compression and rebound valving. You're going to want a shock on your car that has the adjustability of your KTM. With your natural attention to detail you'll end up with a menu of high/low speed compression and rebound settings for your favorite tracks, commuting, and sport driving. The only time you'll need to send shocks away is for routine servicing.
Looking forward to you input on the Cat5 system. Hopefully they improve lateral movement as advertised. Fair warning - the spring change in my car turned it into a drifter with the previous tires, the 200TW NT05's neutralized the over-steer tendency........with my baby motor.
