Correct

True, but by "short" you really do mean short. I would not recommend slapping a set of reds into housings unless you have a very short, stiff spring. My car never bottomed out with Reds on it, it compressed so far the nose of the car just mashed the pavement.

Full travel of the Reds is about 2" less than the Yellows. They have ~1.5" shorter bodies and are overall 3.5" shorter. That is a LOT of lost extension travel.

False--they aren't adjustable on the car. The adjusting procedure is identical to the rear Konis; remove from car, compress fully and turn the strut rod.

You will have to hassle with lengthening the Reds if you want them to last for more than a few months.

It's a good setup, no doubt. I have my yellows on full firm though and lately they are feeling soft. Keep in mind you cannot adjust compression damping without having them rebuilt. I think it's set pretty well for our cars in general but if you're looking for a stiff suspension instead of a "sport-touring" suspension you might want to look elsewhere.

I am working on an interesting solution to further shortening Yellows. It is pretty simple and it may not work, but it will be interesting for sure.
