Are you sure the reds are adjustable. I have the yellows and was told the reds are fixed rate and yellow are adjustable. I could have been told wrong.

Terry

Yes, the reds are adjustable. I just want to know how they compare to the illuminas. No more the konis are red and the illuminas are white Yelows are just not in my budget.

Brian

then what is the differnce in the reds or yellows?

Comparing yellows to to illuminas, i prefer the yellows because they will adjust much more stiffer if i choose. Also down the road if you decide you want a custom valve rate koni will revalve then to your choice. you have to pay but they will do whatever you want to them plus a lifetime warrenty. Its only my opinion but Koni is one of the biggest manufacturers and has been around a lot longer than tokico.

I bought some koni reds for the 280Z just wondering how you adjust the damper? Its definatelly not like the AGXs O_o...

Tokico offers a life time warranty on the illuminas, they are overhead adjustable w/ a small flathead (no getting dirty to change your shock settings), and they kick ass on the road, the reds better be cheap as hell to make this a contest.

Well maybe I just took the wrong actions. This was over a year ago so I forgot exactly what happened but I called who I originally ordered them from and they told me if I had ever bottomed them out or if the car was lowered or something like that, the waranty doesn't cover it... anyway, I love them with my prokits and I am sure the only reason that one blew was cause of the terrible coilovers I was using at the time. (which bottomed out often)

If the yellows are not in your budget tell me how you are going to afford the illuminas? This i would like to know because the yellows are the same cost if not 5-10.00 more per strut.
