What happened to Koni FSDs?

I was going to order Koni FSD to smooth out the harsh ride in my 2011 Mini R56 S but for the life of me, I can't find them anymore. As if they have been discontinued or updated with some other part.
I already replaced non-run flats and the ride is better, but I would like a more drastic change and from all the reading Koni FSD seems to be the best choice.
Does anyone know what are the current shocks that give the smoothest ride to R56s? I don't care about lowering it. The ride quality is the main goal.

Thanks!

Do you know average labor cost for these Konis? I'm in Midwest.

I got quoted just labor by two different shops with my parts and it seems a bit much:
Shop1: $,1,270
Shop2: $1,460

Both shops included the alignment in their quote.

Sounds about right to have all four shocks changed out and an alignment performed.
