should have made it more clear, yellows are externally adjustable and you cant adjust the reds externally

but either are still good, i got the reds because it was cheaper and i wouldnt be messing with the settings anyway.

btw when i installed them the front sat lower than with the stock. any reasons why?

Anyone who is an autocrosser uses Koni Yellows. If you go through paddock you will see 95% of the competitors using Konis.

I have yellows and have had no problems with them, only had them for 1000 miles though. It's nice to be able to adjust all 4 shocks in 2 mins.
