Auto-x: Koni red vs. Koni yellow

I want to get new Koni shocks and struts for my GTA I just need to decide on what color. I'm putting on the eibach prokit at the same time and the rest of my suspension is stock ws-6. I know the difference between the two I just wanted your opinions on which would be better on my car for auto-x. Thanks in advance.

Yellow is sport and more for handling; red is the original and is also for a better road feel right? I've also heard about the SA and DA shocks, but I think that was for 4th gens.

the 4th gens can get DA front and rear shocks, you can use the rears, but no the fronts.
