Suspension options

[Ian S]

Were they 2nd hand Koni yellows?

They do wear out. The shiny rods were what was deemed to be beyond economical repair on the first set of used Konis I had. Also there was a valve in one front that was not really up to the job.

Koni have said in the past that the valves can be replaced.

Think that says alot two 2nd hand sets in a year, new ones at the group buy price cant be too much more than the cost of 2nd hand sets

Lol true I just was spending the money elsewhere after buying the 5.. One was a set of apex and the other was some ultimate suspension from cgb.. I was new and a little wet behind the ears

So they weren't Koni shocks then?

No bud I haven't had konis before.. Did I say I had sorry if it seemed that way I was always after this group buy but I bought the Ronals last month and that wiped my 5 funds out so Christ don't tell the mrs as the Ronals have cost me a holiday in the sun next year with the mrs and if she finds out I'm buying these she will chop my danglies off

Not directly, just you mentioned this:

I use mine daily so I hope they last better than the two second hand sets iv used in a yr

after several posts/pages about Koni shocks.

Just would've been good feedback in how they failed, but it's not Koni's, so not to worry.

We're not planning to get FSD's. I don't know what they are. Perhaps someone here could find out.

Sorry Ian delete it I was just looking at the returns part of the review.. The guy has one leak and sent it back and replaced no probs.. So surely that stands for all konis.. I'm sure they will be fine.. If I get my bonus I'm having a set..

I'm sure they will be fine..

They will be - I've used Koni's since the mid 90's & never had a problem with them.

Quite wtf some unknown random geeza with a Mini & his Koni shocks has got to do with the price of fish, I don't know?!

It did prompt me to go and had a surf and I found some large distributor saying the Koni Sport yellow were the most reliable of the Koni's he sells.

They described the Koni FSD's as I was led to believe that Bilstein B6 are, ie, non linear valving that hold the car up with slow rise in pressure from corners but yield with bumps. That's my experience of them as well.
