Default Koni Reds - good replacement for OE?

Do you guys think that Koni Reds will be a good replacement for stock worn out ITR shocks - better performance?

Koni Yellows would be even better

Yellows, however, are much more expensive - and for a daily street driven car that is not going to see any track time the Yellows would be an overkill -don't you agree?

Well, considering that your stock shocks aren't adjustable, and the Reds are (although they have to come off the car to do so) I figure it would be a step up.

Makes perfect sense as an OEM replacement.

Koni quality

I've checked out a few sites to find Koni Reds for the ITR - but no luck - all I find is the same part number for 94-01 Integra - anybody have the Reds on their ITR? If so, can you give me the part number. Thnx.

Pretty sure they don't make reds for ITR.

Well, after talking to a Koni rep he told me the front shocks can be the same as any Integra model but for the rear he gave me the part number which corresponds to the 88 Civic specific shocks. So I guess you can put Koni Reds on an ITR - but since ITR springs are a little stiffer you can, however, adjust the reds manually before putting on the car.
