The yellow's are on sale via TR but are still a good deal more $. I wanted to stick to a budget for all this so as not to go overboard and didn't feel that I needed the adjustability of the yellows...the oranges were getting good reviews so I took the gamble.
It was either them, or KYB GR2's ("direct" OE replacement, KYB made the oem IS300 dampers) or Tokico's (I hear blue's suck and Illuminas are just OK). I did read about Bilstein HDs and the yellows and apparently they rode a bit harsh. If these can handle a mild drop and have near-stock ride quality I'll be happy.
