So basically, what they say about ONLY USE with stock springs was just a ploy!

That...or they are making new spring/shock combos that use the FSD

What's this gunna cost?

I think they may have different ones that are designed to work with lowered suspension, I do not know. Suspensiononline.com already has kits posted, only like 815 for Volvo 850, I think I am going to order some. Some newer models do not have a discount though and are like 1500 , just depends.

Congratulations, u will not be disappointed.....I can't believe how well the car drives, after living with the bilsteins and being bounced around, its like I'm driving a different car. The konis gives me a firm ride with comfort, its truly an amazing suspension.

So all of a sudden FSD's can be intergraded with lowering springs

I put Koni FSD's w/ TME on S70 and I'm very pleased. I think it is just a disclaimer clause they put out. Consider that a lower car is like a car with a heavy load on it as far as ride height goes. So would you expect a loaded car to not function well with a damper like FSD. Anyhow, I like my setup. Smoothes out much of the really harsh road conditions you'll find around. I noticed huge improvement on really bad sections of freeway that used to make me switch lanes to a smoother lane that the trucks did not have totally trashed.

I would ask in performance, If you have to pay 1500 I'm sure people will say weitechs, but for 812 I paid for the 850 springs I think I got a good deal.
