Koni yellows?
Has anyone tried the Koni yellow sport adjustable shocks. I have an 09 2.5 and was thinking about upgrading to these since the stocks are starting to leak. Any feed back or recommendations for New shocks would be great

I have Koni Yellows on my '12 WRX, with RCE Blacks and 2010 WRX donor struts.
I haven't played around with the damping settings yet, so I can only comment on the limited miles I've put on the entire spring-shock-strut setup - which is definitely firmer than stock WRX setup. All our car's rattles will be more noticeable when driving on crappy roads like downtown SF. On curvy roads, body roll is definitely reduced, and the transition from left turn to right turn feels better (more stable/less bounce?) than stock. Front-end "dive" when shifting or letting off the gas also seems to be reduced.
In case you don't already know, the fronts are not direct bolt-ons (at least not for my WRX), and some work needs to be done. I don't have the skills or tools for that job, so I ended up paying a shop to do the install for me.

Exactly the same on yours except the cut maybe, that will be included in the instructions.
