good luck finding REDs. Yellows are easier to adjust anyways.

get some b&gs lol theres someone on here selling some used TEIN Ss for 500 with trade of stock suspension

Yellows are better anyways. They have a very divergent piston. Which means you get good damping of normal movement but they dont get super stiff when you hit a bump.

I have the Koni yellows with the Koni springs love the ride quality and the adjustabilty of them by the top of the strut tower....

I'd go with yellows just because they're adjustable while still in the car. I like my red's, but it is a pain to have to pull them from the car to adjust them.

Ditto. Great ride from the red's but PITA to adjust because they have to be pulled off the car. And Yes, they are adjustable, so make sure you set them before installing them. I can't remember the exact procedure. Something like compress the shock, and rotate it while compressed..? maybe.... it should come with instructions.

^Yup that is how reds are adjusted. They only make yellows now anyways.

I would use Eibach sportlines for springs, then use a slightly softer, but still adjustable shock if you're not tracking. KYB has an adjustable set that reasonably soft. The Tokico's (Which I have) have very good adjustability as well for soft AND stiff rides.

I've had Konis on my previous car. STUPID stiff. Even on softest.

i LOVED my yellows/sportlines setup. car handled like a dream and it gave that stiffer than stock feeling but didnt jar teeth. regretting i sold that setup, actually...
