After about 10 years with my bone-shaking suspension setup, I have decided it's time to go for a more comfortable ride.
The car currently has Bilstein HDs, M033 springs and 18" Turbo Twist wheels. I am on the brink of pushing the button on some Koni FSDs. I intend sticking with the M033 springs, and I have a set of 17" Cup IIs that I'll put on.
I'd be very grateful if anyone who has gone from standard OEM shock absorbers to FSDs or HDs to FSDs would give their opinion of the difference in ride quality after the FSDs were fitted.
I have never tracked the car, and have no intention of doing so, so I'm not looking for the ultimate in high speed handling. I just want to be able to do some spirited country lane driving without having the fillings in my teeth shaken out when I go over a rough surface.
I'll be looking at a total cost of around £2K for the FSDs, the various other parts I need (because I'm moving from HDs not standard shocks), the fitting and the alignment.
Before I spend the money, I'd just like a little reassurance that I'll end up with a more relaxing ride.
TIA
