....The KoniFSD's aren't adjustable at all - They automatically adjust themselves hydraulically. I believe that they are stock on some of the 'supercars' from McLaren and Mercedes.

OK, thanks.  Can't quite get my head around how they selectively alter the damper rates though.  And is it just rebound, or compression and rebound damping which adjusts?

....I'm the first to admit that all my carbonfibre bits are merely eye-candy. But my point in criticising slamming the suspension is that too many people do it without consideration of the knock-on effects and what they are getting into as a whole.

Oh - I fully agree - and it is the same ethos behind my concern on the foggies! 

Btw, I'm clutching a new bit of carbon eye-candy in my hand as I type. Photos and full report later.

Your'e always clutching at sommat.  Didn't you mum tell you to leave it alone, or it 'll drop off!

im centainly not putting my old vents in because TT seems to think that the aerodynamics will screw up my DSG (which i dont even have anyway )

But it's not only the DSG they starve of air.  The front brake cooling ducts, and the intercooler and engine air intakes will all be affected too!   

You are absolutely right on ETTO though!

....I'm hoping that modern adhesives are such that it won't drop off. It said I'd be ok on the 3M packet!

I don't know anymore about the KoniFSD's except that they do work for my usage.

KONI FSD: Frequency Selective Damping

A revolutionary new technique whereby the benefits of both types of ride are combined in one perfect shock absorber.

As advanced as FSD is in operation, the basic principle behind it is astoundingly simple. No electronics or sensors are used. The FSD technology id based purely on hydraulics.

Put simply, FSD actively controls the damping level on the basis of the movement frequency of both the car's body as well as suspension. It responds even more responsively than electronic systems do.

Thanks - but it still doesn't state weather both comp and rebound are adjusted? 

Anyone have a link to Koni directly?

Doesn't even say on their site!

CF gear change paddles?

how much weight saving is that? 

you guys are nuts 

Pesky Peskarik. You do know you will be lynched for saying that or even worse chained to the back of a RS4 and dragged round the track as it beats a 335.  

it's OK. There are many cars that beat 335. It does not matter.
