Default Koni Yellow for 92-96 Prelude?

I got my Koni's in, but the front dampers only come with 2 perches. The rears have 3, but I'm wondering if Koni changed their manufacturing process? Can CRX Lee chime in on this?

Your dampers are correct and have not been changed. The positions are:

FRONT
upper = stock perch location
lower = for lowering the car 20mm on stock springs

REAR
upper = for raising the rear of the car above stock to compensate for heavy loads (trunk o' funk stereo, trailering, dead bodies, etc.)
middle = stock perch location
lower = for lowering the car 15 mm on stock springs

There is very rarely any need to raise the front spring perch unless you are looking to compensate for a set of springs that have lowered the car too much. In that case, use the SP3 dampers made specifically for Neuspeed which have two groove locations above stock but be careful about potential coil bind of the lowering springs.
