R55 Anyone change shocks to Koni FSDs? What's your opinion?
Anyone change shocks to Koni FSDs? What's your opinion?
**sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum...didn't look around beforehand**
I'm considering doing this due to the amazing things I've been hearing about these shocks. Apparently it's a noticeable upgrade in ride quality while largely maintaining the great handling.
I'm not looking to turn my Mini into a Cadillac, but a tiny bit of ride improvement would be welcome as I take long road trips on a regular basis. I already changed the run-flats out for better tires which made a small but noticeable difference, and now I'm considering these Konis to make it even better.
Anyone out there who did this? What has your experience been?
Thanks,
Noah

I've had a few customers get the Koni FSD's and been very happy about the ride. And they are very affordable. Your other option is a set of lowering springs. Feel free to call us for any other questions.

Thanks for this post...you guys have the best price I could find, so I just ordered a set.
I've been obsessing over this tonight and checking out tons of forums, etc. -- there's basically nothing but rave reviews about these shocks and people are saying that they achieve exactly what I'm looking for: a little bit of a better ride and better handling than the stock Cooper S shocks.
Sweet! Can't wait! Hopefully my new Mini will still be running when they get here!

Let us know your impressions after the install. I don't think you'll feel as dramatic a change as I did with my R53 with sport suspension, but they should noticeably improve your Clubman's ride.
