So hear is what Im hearing you guys say, feel free to correct me if Im wrong.

The STRT is a solid piece of equipment, that does everything decently but doesnt do anything excellently because its not adjustable

The yellows are the best equipment money can buy in this department, and because of their adjustability are capable of doing everything in an excellent fashion.

Guys are making me debate if the yellows and springs would be a better next mod than an 8.8" with 3.73s

Yes you can!

The total number of turns is 2 1/4 or so and they have positive stops on both ends.

Please be careful, I know everyone things they can dig these up... but there is maybe a .0001% chance of that.

It's not like I, or Koni, ran out of the Sports yesterday. In fact I have lots of rears, just no fronts. I mean if I just ran out it might be likely that someone who sells less volume might have some left. But every time someone says they found some, they don't show up.

Buyer beware. And fwiw, understand that bigger companies, or those that don't care are good with telling folks "yes we have that" only to recant later.

Are Koni Sports great? Yes, I love mine. But not everyone needs them, but even if you want them--that's sort of a problem right now.

Love it. Thanks for giving me another weekend project. I've often wondered why the aftermarket hasn't stepped in with a more solid feeling adjuster, given how many sets of these shocks are out there.

I've had the yellows on my previous 2004 M3 and I liked that they were adjustable. I later switched them out to KW coils because of the height adjustability but for a spring/shock combo, it was perfect.
