Default Which Shocks Koni Yellow or D-specs???

I don't feel like going into details but the shocks I have now have an issue and I need a alternative.

After speaking to Sam Strano about shocks I am sold on the Konis but would like more opinions on experence on ride quality for street.

D-Specs or Koni Yellows???

does it make you feel more important when the exact same information from countless other threads is addressed specifically to you?

(PS, I vote Koni's, big shocker there)

I went with the D-Specs and I'm happy with them thus far. Got them set on 5 and at first I couldn't tell much of a difference from stock, ride quality wise. I'm not saying the Konis aren't better, though, since I have no experience with them.

I don't see the big deal about posting a question even if its been gone over before. Yes, there's a search function, and I've used it plenty of times myself, but this is a discussion forum for people to ask questions and share new information. If you don't want to participate because you think its already been covered ad nauseum, then save yourself the inconvenience and don't click the thread title.

When I am putting them on a 55K car that has 2K miles on it yes I feel important.

I just spent 2K and did not ask any questions and I have a big mess, so I am asking what has been asked so I don't waste more money.

This post is no harm to anybody except for people that have to be a smartass.

Including me, you have 3 folks out of 9 responses that have had both and preferred the Koni's. There is another guy who lurks here would makes 4. D-specs aren't terrible, and if you haven't compared you'd think they are fine.

Simply put, it's pretty much a landslide when counting votes from folks who've had both.
That said, I have both in stock.
