Re: koni yellow and neuspeed sp3 series koni (bearboy80)
Yes two different shocks. Regular koni's have 3 perch settings. Neuspeed Koni's have 5 perch settings and are susposed to have a shorter shock rod.

Re: koni yellow and neuspeed sp3 series koni (bearboy80)
The Neuspeed SP3 special made KONIs have an additional 20 mm droop limiter or rebound stop and thabe 5 spring perch circlip grooves but the valving is exactly the same as the KONI Sport. The rebound stop will help if you have a lowering spring that is short enough that when the car is jacked up and the shock is at full droop, it can reduce the possible tendency for the spring to fall out of it's upper spring seat if there is not enough preload. Once the car is on the ground, there is no length benefit of the SP3 over the Sport. Regading the circlip grooves, the normal KONI Sport usually has tow grooves on the front (stock and lower) and the rears usually have three (raised, stock and lower). The Neuspeeds have five grooves: 15 mm above stock, 7 mm above stock, stock, 7 mm below stock and 15 mm below stock.
