Default Tokico Blues = Ekkkk.....Need advice on new shocks

2000 Si
1.5' drop give or take

So after 2 - 2 1/2 years of driving around on Tokico Blues / Ground Control, my back rear shock has blown. Needless to say I am in the market for new rears. Few questions...

1) I don't auto-cross and this is my daily driver. I am having a hard to justifying getting Koni Yellows so I am looking into the Koni Reds. What are your opinoins on the Reds?

2) Do both Koni Reds and Yellows work with Ground Controls?

3) Does that limited lifetime warrenty apply to both yellows and reds?

Regards

Chad

The Kyb website clearly states that they don't recommend using the AGX's on a lowered suspension. They kind of seem like OEM replacments (which is what I consider the tokico blues) with external adjustments. Have you had experince with them?
