Anyone in Seattle have Koni FSDs?

Hi, looking to see what the ride feels like on Koni FSD shocks. I just changed to H&R sports (on my OEM sport shocks) last weekend and the ride is way too rough. I've been told changing to the FSDs will help a lot but would like to give try it before I spend time and money. So if anyone is running a similar set up and wouldn't mind going for a spin, PM or reply please. Thanks!

<crickets> Anyone, Koni FSDs or Koni Yellows? Come on, I know there's gotta be several people using these shocks, anyone willing to give a ride so I can choose?

Changed to coilovers now and still rides rough. So I'm again considering the switch to FSDs. Anyone have em??

I would imagine someone does locally. I actually have the H&R Touring Cup Kit, the ride is awesome. You should look into that option if you're looking to go away from the coilovers in favor of a shock/spring combo.

I considered the HR cup kit since I had on my E46 and was pretty happy but I felt my H&R sports rose pretty rough. Would you mind meeting up for a ride this week? I gotta figure out what my next step is. Thanks.

Which coils did you switch to?

I've heard aftermarket struts are considerably better riding than the zsp ones when springs come in to play. If you have a chance to get a ride, I would be interested in hearing your opinion.

My coilovers are ST V1 (exact same thing as KW V1 except the strut body is galvanized rather than stainless). I like the performance but with 19" wheels the ride is a little rough and I feel some bouncing on the highway.

Still looking for someone with FSDs...

Anyone?? My FSDs just arrived and I'm installing them later this week. I'd feel a lot more confident about spending another day under the car if I could try first...
