They'r there- I've got yellows on my 86w.  I'll have to go home and check
my invoices on the fronts, but rears are different between 86-88 so I
can't help there..

More or less, yes.  B&G are cheaper, but a bit softer that H+R I'm told.

I have Koni yellows(Sport) + B&G all around, with the Koni's set at 3/4
turn and 1 turn up from full soft on the front and rear, respectively.
Very nice ride, crisp handling.
