Yellows are 20mm drop, static. Tarmac Zeros are height-adjustable. Combined with the fact that the forces of the Zero are not adjustable and you don't mention interest in adjusting forces, the Zeros are probably the better choice for you. Also the Koni warranty process is some shit, but that's bad feelings on my part.

With a threaded-body/height-adjustable coilover you change camber as a side effect of lowering the car, which is incorrect. This is fixed by using an adjustable length lower control arm, which is also the incorrect way to adjust camber (as this arm changes toe angle AND camber angle with one adjustment). The Whiteline camber bushing adjusts the UCA position, which is the correct way since it doesn't alter toe. Bushing cost + labor on the install will cost you more than a LCA + labor (you can install the LCA in your garage when you do the coilovers, too!).
