    Just wondering if anyone can give me some feed back on Koni Yellow's, thinking about getting a set but wanted to see what people have experienced with them...
    And Eibach spring....?

    As always depends what you want to do with them. Reds are fine for the street and racing, yellow if doing circuit work alone. From memory, reds all the way up was equivilant to yellow half way. In reality you will set them and forget about them unless you are racing. Adjustment is easy, just pull off at the bottom, push up to full compression and turn them. As they are rebuildable (and re valveable?) they should last the life of the car. Don't waste too much money on springs, as they are something you probably will change along the way. Dare I say it, ring David Lawson at AJPS, regular on this site.

    i have koni yellows in my car... they are great never had a prob with them... as parrot says just set and forget on the street...

    one thing i have noticed, is that if you load them up a bit or maybe hit a few in a row they can be a bit slow to react when you get to the last one/s...

    i ran koni's for a while but changed to others

    Koni are standard lenght stroke, plus non externally adjustable (as in you can't just turn an adjuster you have to remove shit, worse in the front as you need to remove the spring to adjust the insert = ghey)

    they work well with softer springs, but have trouble with anything above 6kg/m mark.

    personal opinion you can buy better for your money, i paid $700 trade price i think, i know it was dear.

    i currently have koni yellows in mine. i found them to be pretty decent but as i'm moving to a coilover type arrangement, they'll get replaced with some agx short strokes
