Koni sport yellow adjustables (5 or 7 positions i cant remember). installed in my car & results eeeexeeelent by very good price

Round 175$ per one (externally adjustables) installed in my car

Round 150$ per one (internally adjustable "you need to unmont them, & compress full to adjust")

Some people install the koni fsd with good results too but not adjustable

I'd like to add that the externally adjustable one allows you to adjust dampening, while the internally adjustable ones only allow you to adjust rebound. koni reds vs koni yellows basically.
