I would vote for the Koni Yellow...
adjustable dampening is a great factor,
pending on your application, I know that they are height adjustable,
so if the ITR 1 inch drop is not enough, you adjust the perches to gain a bit more of a drop...

Yellow's are a much better shock, in that they're rebuildable, and can be customized by Koni to fit your needs. You can have thme converted to double-adjustable, revalved, shortened.......
Lose the progressive springs though. They're for minivans

Trust me, koni warentee is garbage. my shocks blew, and they didnt want to send me new ones, unless i sent the old ones there, waited 6 weeks for them to be checked, then sent back..another 2 weeks.. bah humbug
I've heard a couple bad stories about the "warranty" of Koni. The product itself is tops but getting them warrantied is a bitch. This is the reason why JRP doesn't deal with Koni any longer.....or so they say.
i have a dc2 i got the illuminas in 2 days the fronts had blown when i got 1 replacement it blew a day later, and then the other ones top (where you insert an alley key to tighten the actual shock down) broke,,,,, so needless to say ive had ---- luck with these damn shocks SCREW THEM if i had a chance to get the yellows at same price i would do it no questions asked!
