Rob,
I use the yellow Koni Sports on my Corvette, same as
you. A few questions? Do you leave the shocks set at their autocross setting
when you drive on the street? If so the shocks won't last. How many turns are
you tightening the valve? Any more than one full turn and they will go away
quickly. FWIW.

What is considered the acceptable limit for Koni shock fluid leakage?
The manual indicates that "some fluid leakage is normal, but when it starts
to drip onto the floor, then replacement is required". Now, there are no
puddles in my garage, but the tops are quite wet, and so are the spring
seats. These are the yellow, single adjustable sport shocks.
Rebuild time? This is a bit of a concern since they only have 15,000 miles
and perhaps 10 autocross events on them.
Thanks,
