Koni Yellows have problems? never heard of that. some other choices are Tokico Blues or Illuminas. i personally dont recommend the blues, but the illuminas and yellows are fine

I had koni yellows, one of the first ones, on my rsx back when i had it. They were great. Had em on the car for a year without any problems whatso ever. Car rode pretty darn good too. Install is not nearly as bad as some people make out.

The leaks were only in the front with the first initial batch of shock to come out for the dc5 and ep. It has since been fixed. If for any reason you do have issues though Koni has a good warranty and will replace them without charge, assuming you purchased the shocks new.
