So the rear struts on my car are Koni reds and they have the valving and all just like the yellows. What is the difference ohter than diameter? I am able to get yellow or reds from a source but I don't have the coilovers for the yellows. I they are the same perfomance wise I can just get the reds and use what I have, If not I will need to find some coilovers for the yellows at a sweet price.... like trade (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

From reading other posts on the subject by people who know a lot more about this than me, this is what I understand. Konis are adjustable only on rebound and if you are using heavier than stock torsion bars on the fronts the bound dampening on Koni Reds should work well for normal street driving but would not necessarily be aggressive enough for hard driving like track and DE events. Koni Yellows are valved for stiffer bound dampening. Comparing the front Red vs. Yellow, setting the Reds to mid range is where the Yellows start. Not sure about the rears. In all, the Yellows can provide a more aggressive (stiffer) ride than the Reds.
