Dampers for Cobb Springs

[fasteract]

I have Koni FSD's with the Cobb springs...really no change in ride height and much improved DD performance. BTW, my alignment specs didn't need adjusting..rear the same and front still had slight neg toe-in.

H&R springs for the MS3/MS6 are nowhere near slammed. The closest to being slammed are from H&R coilovers for the MS3, unsure about the MS6 though.

LOL nowhere near?? It scraped everywhere. For a DD, it's slammed.

The koni FSD are for stock height springs and the Koni Sports are for lowering springs.

Thanks you. How did you find this out? Anyone have experience with the Koni sports and Cobb springs?

I based my decision on Cobb telling me their springs were OK to go on stock dampers which I translated into them being suitable for thew Koni FSD's

LoL.. Well look what happens to the stock ones. Which set of konis raised the car up. I think it was the FSD's

The FSDs do seem to raise the front a small bit

Thanks. Can anyone chime in on the Koni Sports?

There is a group buy trying to take shape on M 3 Forum for the Koni FSD's. They need ten sets and the price is going to be around $500 which is $150 less than you can get them anywhere. I'm in as I don't plan on lowering my car and will keep the stock springs. I have read good things about the FSD's except they are not suited for lowering springs. They improve the handling and ride quality vs stock dampers where as the sports may be to stiff for my taste.

Despite being a bit pricey, Bilstein Sport Struts/Shocks deserve a look. I have Vogtland springs and I'm going with the Bilstein Sports,after the holidays.

Thanks. Although for daily use, the FSD's sound awesome. But i can live with the rear-ward rake that they bring. I want the ride to be level. If the FSD's could be used with different springs and not life the front, I would be all over them.

For the record, neither Koni Yellow or FSDs are rated for use on lowering springs.

Koni has said that the Sports can be used with lowering springs.

^ What he said.

I stand corrected. Thanks guys!

Then again, the Koni Yellows are only designed for the MZ3, not MS3.
