Konis FSD do not like lowering springs,i have Eibach sportline springs with SACHS BOGE Turbo Gas Shocks and Struts. E-mailed GSF,or (from eurocarparts) and they will till you which ones the Boge program is a great performer with great ride quality and all done without braking your bank account. Boge gas shocks are a great original equipment upgrade or a mild performance upgrade for the budget minded. These units work well with original springs or conservative sport spring combinations.


SACHS BOGE Turbo Gas Shocks and Struts
The secret to the Turbo Gas is the twin tube, low pressure gas design combined with Sachs Boge's exclusive infinitely variable valve system to insure the perfect balance between comfort and secure road holding. The induction hardened, chrome plated piston rod, ground and super-finished to exact roundness with a surface tolerance of only 5/100,000 mm, insures a smooth even movement. Engineered like no other, the Turbo Gas is specifically designed for each application. Limited lifetime warranty.

OR

BILSTEIN Shocks and Struts
When you purchase shocks you get what you pay for. Bilstein's advanced technology have been hand assembling the world's most efficient gas pressure shock absorbers for over 35 years. Sold in kits of two pieces (fronts, and rears). Bilsteins sport shocks offer a firmer valving which is best suited for use with a vehicle with lowering springs and anti-roll bars. The Bilstein heavy duty valving offer superior damping ability compared to your O.E.shocks and struts and are designed to improve handling and stability without sacrificing ride comfort.

OR

KYB AGX adjustable shocks & struts
KYB AGX Adjustable Gas Shocks are perfect for sport enthusiasts and high performance drivers who want the "best of both worlds". AGX allows drivers to adjust damping to match specific driving conditions quickly and easily.

Adjusts in seconds to provide optimum damping for street, strip, track, crusing, or high speed touring. Damping rate is selected with an external knob on the shock body or a screwdriver slot at the top of the piston rod.

Hope this helps
