Like the Reds (a.k.a. Specials), Koni yellows (a.k.a. Sports) are single
adjustable in rebound only.  Koni does make some double adjustable units,
but as Dave indicated, these are very expensive and for the most part are
limited to their line of race shocks. 

<<If they are adjustable, it should simply be a matter of
making sure that the range includes the appropriate stiffness to match your
springs. >>

According to Koni, the Specials are valved to improve handling in stock
cars, whereas the Sports are designed for use with stiffer, aftermarket
springs.
