Sport Suspension Replacement

Hey all,

I just found out I have the sports suspension package on my new to me R53. before that, I was looking into the Koni FSDs as a replacement for the stock shocks. Will this work just as good for the Sport Suspension?

I'm not looking to lower or enhance, just replace without the OEM prices.

FSDs would be a good choice.

You could do Bilstein Heavy Duty too.

Really?
They make a Bilstein Sport application for the R50 and R53, but I don't think
they make an Bilstein HD for them.
