Default koni yellows or koni str??

have a 2000 accord, and putting tein s-techs in it. am wondering if i should get the koni str or koni sports. i know you get what you pay for, however my car is a daily driver and want it to be tight, but not too harsh on the road. i live in new hampshire, and roads up here are not so good. currently have skunk2 coilovers and tokico illumina shocks which i dont like and have blown the rear ones... advice please?!

If you still have the papers for the Illumina's why don't you turn them in for warranty? As for the Koni's if you need the adjustable then go with the yellow's if not the STRT is a good shock as well.

i don't still have the papers...they are pushing like 8 years old. and about the springs. any advise on the tein? i have a great drop right now, however the skunk2's are about 10 years old and just want to replace all the springs and shocks at the same time...any thoughts?

Lots of people say the Tein S. Tech rates are too soft and bottom out, although I don't have any direct experience w/them. Since your not going for an aggressive type suspension the Str.T's should do you just fine man.

With the roads you drive on the Tein h.tech would be a good match w/the Str.t's but the car will surely sit higher then your current skunks.

Just my $.02

GL OP.

I'd say go with the STR T and keep your coilovers.
