what problems?

I have Koni yellows on my car.  Install wasn't that bad (harder than a bolt-on like AGX or GAB) but rebuilding the stock front struts really isn't that tough.  Cut them open with a hacksaw, dremel, cutting wheel or air saw, pull out the guts, clean them, deburr them, drill a hole in the bottom, put the insert in, done.  Really not that bad.

And they ROCK.  Super smooth and controlled.  I love the ride.  It's nice and firm, but not overly harsh.

But if you're sold on the GABs, check www.stranoparts.com or www.shox.com or www.wholesalehyperformance.com

if the konis werent so much trouble, i would not hesitate to buy them... i have had excellent luck with koni yellow/ ground control combination in the past with all my hondas...

i need a decent adjustable shock i can use with my stock springs for gstock use... i do not want to re-use my stock shocks, and i dont want to have to remove (a couple people had mentioned it in a few old posts) the assembly for a simple adjustment...

uiuc, since you do have the koni's, i want to ask you, does the assembly really have to be removed to turn the adjustmet tab??? i mean the shock itself comes up and bolts on underneath the rear panel where the speakers are mounted on... isnt this where the adjustment tab would be???
