I've got the Koni reds. I would have liked the yellows but they're too expensive. I'm very happy with them. The down-side is that you have to pull the strut assembly to adjust them. I wasn't planning on adjusting them all the time, so that wasn't too important to me. On the plus side, if the struts start wearing out, I can crank up the adjustment and get some more miles out of them. They were $77 each at tirerack.com

How do Koni Red's compare to Tokico Blues or KYB AGX's ?

the other main difference is the fact that the yellows have adj perches to raise or lower the car about another .5"

From what I learned while I was shopping, they're probably better then the Tokico's. Performancewise, they're comparable to the AGXs, but the AGX have the advantage of external adjustability.

I have a friend that races a Honda S2000 and he says Koni is pretty good about repairing or replacing their product. Contact them via their website and see if they'll help.

becuase the shop that installed my friends didnt install bump stops he got his shock jammed comprressed. they fixed it and sent it back for free. its very rare that the perches brake. u either got a lemon or it wasnt 100% in the groove. koni will just send you a new one. and if u messed up the actual perch not the adj ring then you hit more than a bump.
