It really depends on your needs. If you plan to be competitive, such as Road Racing/Auto-X then definitely get them. They are height and damper adjustable. They have a lifetime guarantee if purchased new and the quality/build is great. If you just want a nice shock suitable for most needs the KYB AGX's are also a great price. I bought mine from Diablomotorsports (.com?) for around $510 shipped. I love mine, but not too useful in the damn snow!

Yes i can vouch for these Koni Yellow shocks. My friend and I installed these on his Civic mated with Ground Control coilovers. These things made a phenomenal difference. I urge you to not get these for comfort. Even on the softest setting i didn't think they were any better than the stock units we swapped out. Overall they felt so much better and stable through the corners. Good investment for Auto-X.

koni yellows are more sportive. Hard and built for racing.
The reds improve handling but give more comfortability.

I had koni yellow on my Polo G40. Not my case

Correct me if I'm wrong, but reds are not adjustable... height is dependent on spring and damper is preset.
