Koni FSD shocks in 2005 S, R52? Thoughts?

Hi,
Have been reading on the forums about suspension upgrades. Would like to hear opinions on the Koni FSD shocks and would like to know if I will be able to use my stock S spings if I install the FSD's? Currently running the stock shocks and springs.

My car has 82000 miles and still rides pretty firmly. Wouldn't mind a more even, less jarring ride and hope the FSD's will do that?

Thanks in advance

FSD's are designed to work with stock springs, and they will fit correctly. I have FSD's on my 2006 R52. They do improve the ride. Bumps become less sharp and jarring.

Great for the street! Nice ride and no loss of handling. Not for the track, though.
