Koni FSD's?

Has anyone tried Koni FSD's on their Superb? Was thinking of giving them a try along with Eibach springs. Looking to improve the appearance & handling of my Superb whilst retaining a certain amount of comfort. Is a full Eibach Pro system a better option?

According to their blurb, Koni FSD's are only for use on standard springs. Reading between the lines, I think a lower stance will upset their FSD-ness.

So, I'd go for a full suspension kit of some sorts but remember Eibach springs are only -30mm which on a Superb is nothing.

Re: Koni FSD's?

Urm - if it's the same with the Fabia vRS, it's absolutely fine with Koni FSDs - the FSD bit works based on speed of movement rather than absolute positioning, but you can get advise from Koni via a dealer, they tend to be pretty helpful

I have FSD's and Eibach springs with great results.

Have them on the Octy and they work well. Comfort on a par with oem ones and handling when pushing on, well I'm not complaining
