What are Koni Yellows?

I'm pretty sure they're shocks, but are they better then tokico's? And why?

Well they're damn good, that's for sure ! They are also adjustable. I've had Tokicos, they're good, but i like the Konis better.

the major religion debate

okay dude

Tokico vs konis shocks are a religious battle.

Really what it comes down to is your preference.

Both are struts/shocks for your car.

You can get koni yellow which have an adjustable damper rate, or koni reds which have a set damper rate.

Tokico has an adjustable and a set shock as well.

I think the main difference is on the warranty of the shocks...
Koni's have a lifetime warranty or something so if you blow your shocks you can get them refilled for free... I'm not 100% positive but check on that..

I had my konis installed just three days ago and I honestly love the difference they make with the firmer springs, My original struts would bounce after a bump, the yellows go down once with the bump and that's it But we're talking compared to stock. The tokicos are more economical than konis and that maybe just because of branding, as far as I have heard the tokicos are excellent shocks and will meet all your needs including adjustabilty for a value price. Also, I had comtechs on with my stock struts before and it wasn't a bad ride (no 18's though ) with the progressive spring rate of the comtech your stock shocks should be fine for a couple of years and you don't need to change them if you don't want.
