[T2] Koni shocks: first impressions

I replaced the old KYB gas shocks with the much-praised Konis
available from The Bus Depot.

Given their cost, I'm not yet convinced it was a wise investment:
there's significantly more body lean in curves and steering is less
steady when being passed by semis on the highway. Yet, they only
provide a *slightly* more comfortable ride in regular city driving.

I will adjust them for a firmer ride when I return to California next
summer. I'm not sure though if I should adjust all four of them or
just the front or just the rear. If anybody has more extensive
experience with them, please tell.

I should point out that the bus is also equipped with reinforced front
sway bars as well as as rear sway bars.

Cheers,
Sami
