Hi all, my 2011 MCS seems to have a harsh ride. I have to get the LCB changed 1st to be positive, but I think with 79k miles on the clock the struts might be done for.

While I getting the best out there, I can't afford or see myself paying 800.00 bucks for struts for a DD.

What struts can I use that a step or 2 above stock? I doubt Monroe are on the list.

 

If you are looking to improve the ride as well as handling the KONI FSDs are a great shock, and if you're looking to either lower the car or have a more spirited drive the KONI YELLOWS are a great entry level sport shock that is adjustable to your handling/ride needs.

Nothing generic from an autoparts store will do you much good on these cars. You can be into a set of stock shocks for around $550-600.

The KONIs will be going on sale in the next few months, at which point you can save nearly $200, so if you can hold out for awhile there are monetary savings coming.

I can hold out. Im not lowering her.
FSD's are going for what 700 to 800 now? thats way too much for my liking.

How are Bilsteins ?

 

Bilsteins aren't a bad option, we've installed a few sets of them.

The FSDs are selling for $821 right now, if you are able to hold off they will come down about $200 in a few months.

Personally I like the ride quality of the FSDs over the Bilsteins.

 

Nick,

At your store or Konis in general?

Thanks for your time.

 

If you're not lowering the car the FSDs are the best bang for the buck. And they ride great.

I know they are a higher price than you want, but worth it as they do work and have a lifetime warranty.

 

Everywhere that is a Koni dealer will offer the sale price, many of the vendors are Koni dealers, but they will all start the sale in the next few months.

 

I suggest Bilstein Touring class shocks/struts HERE. The fronts and rears are very economically priced (way less than $800+) and are a great direct replacement for your R56. They're also meant to work with OE springs. They provide a slightly stiffer ride and give you increased handling potential all while retaining a smooth ride. Let me know if you have any questions.

 

The Koni FSD is a great upgrade. Mine didn't cost anywhere near $800, though. Must have been on sale when I got them.

 

I've been looking very closely at the FSDs... How do you all know they'll be going on sale? I want to get in on it when it happens... definitely don't want to miss out!

 

They go on sale every year around early spring, and sometimes the sales run as late as end of summer.
