the part numbers are the same for both listings, it is just the picture that is different. one includes h&r springs and maybe the older 2011 model struts and the other one might be the new 2012 edition of the yellows only

copied directly from the first link:

But why Arent They Yellow???????????????
H&R has The Genuine Koni Yellow Struts / Shocks Specially Valved by Koni to match the dynamics of the H&R Springs and in doing so, H&R being its own entity, has the Koni Shocks specially painted in Silver. After all, H&R is not in the business of representing Koni, They want to represent H&R. If you look at the close up images, you will see the actual Koni Part # 's stamped on the Strut / Shock Body.

the ones that come with the H&R springs, the rears dont have the adjustment tabs on the top of the strut rod like the fronts.

so how are the rears adjusted?

You compress the damper completely and itll engage a cam, then you rotate the rod like the rod tabs..kinda of a PITA. I left mine at factory settings, but was kinda disappointed to see that there are rears with the strut rod adjustment tab

so it has to be done off the car? thats like a koni red. that sucks ass
my rear is what i adjust most. i make it stiff when drag racing to keep the car from squating
but i cant leave it like that because its a bitch to drive. to bumpy!

Theres a tool that Koni sells to adjust them while on the car..for 40 bucks..a little researching shows that Mccaster has the same thing pretty much, part number 7167A15 ~38 bucks

So you undo the nuts on the rod, then use this tool to push the rod down and turn to adjust then the tool helps the rod stay aligned when you let off itll be guided back into the upper strut mount

I looked up on H&R site and the fronts are externally adjusted and rears internally, I wonder why H&R basically went with reds in the back and yellows up front. I thought I was jipped by the ebay seller where I got my sport cup kit from (H&R 31851-1) but i guess its legit. At least the rears wont have to be pulled to adjust with the tool.

i see so the second link that are just the koni yellow's they have the adjustment in the rear without useing the 38 dollar tool.
