I had just ordered this set for R56 chassis, "touring" version. It turns out this kit is outfitted with koni single adjustables (that H&R puts their sticker on). So, this is a single adjustable damper setup (which I was happy to discover.)

Does the Touring Cup kit for R53 also have the koni single adjustables? Can these shocks be adjusted after installation? (i.e. to switch from street driving to track day?). If anyone has this kit installed on an R53 I would like to hear your evaluation as I am considering it for my 2003 Cooper S with 179,000 miles.
