If you were to put Koni Yellows on your ZHP, you cna probably expect to notice a substantially firmer ride due to a combination of the high speed compression being a little more aggressive than the OE Boge dampers and the fact that the OE ones are also worn to whatever degree. Then, if you notice significant changes to ride quality due to adjusting the low speed rebound, you probably made the adjustments yourself.
Thanks clyde. So as far as daily driving comfort, both FSD's and yellows would be a firmer setup. Interesting. Removing the rear shocks to adjust them seems like a royal PITA for my application.

Anyone know a good source for me to read up on performance suspension essentials? Thanks!
