Koni red vs yellow
Pardon my ignorance regarding shocks... But, What is the difference between Koni REAR red shocks compared to yellow ones?
I have a set of each, both say adjustable...is the valving any different?

Scott, why do you have a set of both? The yellows should be a stiffer shock than the reds. The rred is more of a street shock.

Each shock absorber is then customized for the car model. Hence, a KONI Special is always the best choice, for replacement as well as improvement.
Let me know which you are/are not going to use and I may be able to help you out if you are looking to get rid of a set

That's one thing I've never been accused of.... driving soft. Matter of fact, I think I'm still banned from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
