Greenchunks Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ok so my idea of getting weitecs has been blown out of the water. So here's the deal, since the Koni FSD's have been released everyone seems to be in love with the idea of them. What I want to know is how exactly they compare to the Koni Sports (yellow). Are they a softer ride, firmer ride, equal to the Koni's on medium setting? I know the point of the FSD's is that the dampening changes in relation to the driving style. So essentially you can get the ride of the Koni's sports on soft when driving normally, and the handling of the sports on hard when you push the car?So all in all, are the FSD's much better than the Koni Sports? And what specifically is the reason that people want to combine them with Eibach's? Is it because the spring rates works well with them, or is simply becasue the press release said the two companies would be teaming up.Discuss amongst yourselves.

pzorb Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I'm going with them because I don't need the hassle of adjusting my shocks, I just want them to be good always. Like making them one setting round town is cool, but then going onto the freeway later might ask a different setting - the point of the FSDs is to soak up the bumps when needed and send them to your butt when the fun's going on.Eibachs simply because I don't need the hassle of having to send them back. They'll work and they are tested. People tow with Eibachs. People road-race with them. I'll tell you how they work out. The butt-ometer won't be able to distinguish between 'better than OEM' & 'same as OEM' but will report 'better than 183k miles' and 'worse than 183k miles' :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBeast Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 That's an incredible price. I can't get them here for less than £550 give or take a few quid.I can get the springs for £185 delivered, so that leaves £365 for the shocks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenchunks Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 all four corners plus shipping? All four corners, shipping not included though. I'm going to look into setting up a group buy maybe for these. Very tentative and I'd jsut be a promoter role, basically I get people to do it and they pay the supplier directly, I dont wanna touch other peoples money or products.

Greenchunks Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Ok, I'm talking with them right now and the guy said that he can do a pre-order price of 750$ plus shipping for the Koni FSD's and Eibach springs. When I get the rest of the info like how specifically the orders will be placed I will let everyone know and start a new thread with all the information.
