I now have 2000 miles on my Koni FSDs installed by Central Coast Coopers in Oxnard, CA. Not only is the ride and handling vastly improved over all types of road surfaces, but the car is also faster on rapid acceleration!. Before the FSDs, I would frequently get wheel spin with fast launches, aggressive high rev gear changes and on freeway on ramps. Now the tires stick to the ground like a cat on carpet. IMO, the Koni FSDs are a great option, either with OE or lowering springs. Scott, the owner of Central Coast Coopers also has the FSDs and I am sure he shares my enthusiasm.

 

A MINI friend of mine also got those installed and love them!!

This is on my wish-list! (Santa, do you read this??) lol

 

I've had a good experience with Scott at Central Coast Coopers as well - worth your drive to Oxnard cause this guy is passionate about Minis.
