Fsd Shocks-under 500 Miles-575.00 OBO

Second set of shocks installed on my friend mikes car that he wasnt satisfied with-ttese are KONI FSD's, on his car 4 days, probably less than 300 miles. these are NOT ADJUSTABLE, and require STOCK LENGTH SPRINGS to work properly. if you are happy with your cars factory height but unhappy with the handling, these were designed to cure that. the worked very well, were a little stiffer than stock, but had much better rebound and wheel control.

575.00 plus shipping-or-MAKE OFFER

What was the ride like on the choppy concrete freeways? Did it reduce any of the tramlining?


What kind of ride is your buddy looking for? He is running out of options.

>> I checked with The Tire Rack and the FSD shocks will work just fine with different Springs, Like H-Sport.

Do what you want, but the seller is right here. A Koni employee that I trust strongly suggested that I not run these shocks with a car lowered more than 1". Ideally, you should use stock height springs. Hitting the bump stops apparently disrupts the action of these shocks, and because of the limited shock travel on our cars, lowering it makes this a common occurance.

I was going to do the H-sport springs with the stock dampers and then replace them when the wore out, which most say would be sooner then later with lowering springs. But after looking at the cost of the springs and replacement dampers, even ones that are discounted like these ones are then seeing the group buy on the Megan Racing Coilovers by Pilo Racing and all of the features with these coilovers and the great price of $950.00 (if you get in now) it didn’t make sense to me to go with lowering springs and aftermarket dampers.

Check out the group buy and get in soon if you want to get a set.

Koni FSDs

If you still have them, will you take $410? I am near Long Beach and could meet your wife to do the deal.

Sorry my offer is not higher. I can buy them from a friend in the biz for his cost which is about your asking. No offense meant.

Thanks, Lawrence
