I'm also interested in finding out. I know most people here prefer the yellow adjustable but I guess it's all depending and what is the main use for. For me I'm looking for 90% street use and maybe once in a blue moon track. By the way this is for my 3rd gen camaro.

If you are looking for something a little more affordable that will still work well for you the Bilstein shocks or the Koni STR.T shocks could also be a very good option. Both of these shock are good quality shock but they won't offer the adjustability or the performance of the Koni yellow shocks do. The Bilstein shocks are readily available as we have them in stock and ready to ship but the Koni STR.T shocks are on back order from Koni and as far as I know really nobody has them in stock.
If there is anything we can help you out with let us know.

Thanks for everyone"s time and input. it is a daily driver but I do enjoy the curves and an occasional drag strip visit too. I really like the adjustability but my pocket book will probably only allow the non-adjustable variety. i just wanted make and models for lowered cars to buy the ones I can afford and drool over the ones i can't. thanks to all for your time.

My car is lowered. When I did it, I put on KYB and it was alright. Then the yellow Konis went on sale and I pulled the trigger and bought them. Man up and buy the Konis. Don't have the money? Then pinch your pennies until you do, its worth doing to get them

My question would be, will he have to shell out another grand in a couple of years for replacements?

This also includes autocross and some open tracking as well.
These dampers CAN BE rebuilt (and re-valved) as well, when and IF they do 'wear out', so a whole new set, like is needed with some lesser dampers, is NOT necessary.

From everything we have seen the Koni Yellows hold up very well, come to think of it I don't ever remember anybody ever complaining about the durability and longevity of the shocks. Also, if something does come up you can always send the shock/s back to Koni to be rebuilt and if it can't be rebuilt they are good about providing a discount on the shock/s.
