Default Koni Reds appropriate with Eibach Prokit springs?

Car = 93 Ex coupe
Motor = D series
Driving = daily driver / spirited street driving

Front = stock swaybar, Eibach Prokit Springs, Koni Reds
Rear = 00 GSR rear sway, Eibach Prokit Springs, Koni Yellows

I don't want to drop the car more than 1.5-2". I will be putting camber kits on the car to limit camber to about -1 degree.

Do you think the Reds will be acceptable for daily driving in the front? I have a set of Yellows for the front, but I'd rather save them for another car.

This is *not* intended to be competitive in any legal or illegal racing - it's intended to be a fun to drive setup without bieng obnoxiously low for daily driving on torn up inner city streets.

You should be fine. Just adjust the red fronts to about one turn from soft when you install them and go for it. One the rear, you might do an initial adjustment of about 1/2 to 3/4 turn and go from there. Since the rear is externally adjustable, you can adjust it on the car for your prefered ride and balance.

Now I just need to figure out the adjustment on the Reds... I looked on Koni's webpage, and the FAQ looked great. I don't remember seeing an adjustment button on the shock anywhere, so I'm presuming I have to use the Adjustment Procedure for 76, 80, 82, 86, 87, 88, 90, 8040, 8240 Series with the shock compressed fully.

Thanks a lot Lee, mad props to Koni for excellent products, excellent support and lifetime warranties!
