The Koni reds are the Koni specials. The Koni yellows are the Koni sports.
I've got the sports on my Quantum Syncro and my VW Rabbit, and the specials
on my Alfa Spider. Not a very good comparison (3 different cars and all) but
I really like the sports. I love the way the Syncro rides and drives now,
even with the stock springs, it's a lot stiffer and more secure. I've had
great expirence with Konis, and they have been everything I expected and
more. They last forever too. If you are into a sportier ride though, the
sports are the way to go if they make them for your car. IMHO Boges SUCK!
Don't clutter the list telling me I'm wrong, it's just my oppinion.
