koni sport=red and they are adjustable, but not with the top adjuster, you have to take the whole strut and adjust it..

Talking

I have the Koni reds (sport) I set them to firm in the front when I did a moter swap on my 92 h/b. It made the car look like it is doing a wheelie. I was trying to compinsate for the weight diff. They are adjustable, but you have to take them out of the car to adjust. PITA

Koni Sport = Koni Yellow
Koni Special = Koni Red

http://www.koni-na.com/konisport.html

For the Sport/Yellow shocks, if people refer to the SP3 model, they are talking about the Neuspeed-edition Sport/Yellow shocks. That version gives you 5 height perches (instead of 3) and supposedly offer different valving (though it's been debated whether or not it's true).

ok, the yellow ones are top $ top quality peice, adjustable by turning a **** at the top of the strut,


the REDS are adjustable, but must be adjusted before installed into the car, or removed to adjust them..
you have to secure the bottom in a bice and turn the shaft i think.

I believe the yellows are better than red ones, but I recently got a good combination Bilstein Sport and Tein S-Tech.
