Besides being adjustable, is there a difference between the koni yellow shocks an dthe koni reds? I know koni has the shorter shock body, so im pretty much decided on them, but i dont wanna drop the big money on the yellows wheni can get the reds cheaper and have almost the same shock.

So basically what im asking, is the only difference between the Yellow and Red series the adjustability ofund on the Yellow, or is there a differenc eint he shock body length?

*note* I don't need the adjustable since im not into heavy racing unless they have the better shock body size for a 1.5"-1.75" drop*/note*
 
Koni Specials (reds) are valved much softer than Koni Sports (yellows). They'd be OK for the street with low-rate springs, such as stock or ProKits, but you can't run "real" springs with them.
