Yellow KONI Sports are specifically made for daily driving and would be the preference and recommended with any kind of spring rate increase that would drop the car as far as you are talking. The red painted ONI Specials are made to be a balance of performance and ride comfort for a car that is at stock to slightly lowered. With either one or any shock brand, make sure that you have sufficient bump rubbers installed because any Honda dropped that far is going to be hitting the bump stops pretty regularly on less than perfect surfaces and you need them there to keep the car from going too far and internally bottoming and destroying the shocks.

KONI Sports are made for use on the street with stock and lowering springs and their large rebound adjustment range will allow them to be good in autocross and a fair amount of track use as well.

 

My daily driver sports civic has Koni sports, and they ride great on the street. If they are too stiff, simply turn them down a half a turn...

 

The Reds are adjustable from the bottom of the shock as opposed to the yellows which are adjustable from the top as well. Stick with the yellows.

That is not how reds (koni "specials") are adjusted. To make a change, the shock must be removed from the car. The shock piston is then pressed down all the way and turned to make the adjustment. I can't remember if they have "click" type settings or not, but that is how it's done...

 

You are correct, I got mixed up with another shock.

KYB AGX...

 

sorry to thread jack but i want to lower my car about 2" and i guess thats a lil agressive for hondas...what if i coupled it with the ground control upper mounts to allow more room.

 

It would certainly help. You can get away with a 2" drop without them though. The main difference is that they help tremendously when you hit bumps & things like that...
