Love em, great compromise for comfort and handling for everyday use.

Matched mine with some H&R springs to get that better look  :cool:

It's as neg says - Excellent for fast road use - Very real-world practical. But if you need trackday adjustability then KW V3, or Bilstein if you have deep pockets.

I've run mine for nearly 50,000 miles :afro: Just make sure you use them with the springs which Koni recommend for their FSD's - Several options.

cheers guys , was going to use the standard springs as dont really want to lower it (would nt mind 10 mm or so but no more ) but i dont know of any springs that will do this ?
         robin , might have crossed wires about revo/cc on other tread i ve looked at other remap but find cc keep it simple but very affective ! from the user s point of view  :cool:

....The Koni Pro-Kit springs are suitable for the FSD's and will only lower 5-10 mm. You should have an alignment done after they have settled - A hard 10 miles should be enough.

Oh, check you get the appropriate size Koni 'heads' - Either 50 or 55 mm IIRC.

I think if you are gonna go for FSD's it would be silly to put standard spring's on the car. Something like H&R are relatively inexpensive and make the car look so much better! Neg's car which I have seen in the flesh has a stance to die for and he told me that the ride in terms of comfort hardly changed! Just my opinion of course  :smiley:

I have taken a few other members and even Kev from Revo - they all commented how well it felt and expected it to be worse but it wasnt the case.
