I have a 1997 T5 with 110,000 on it. It is time to change the rear shocks and probably the struts. As I look around for parts, I saw on the Koni website they have the FSD set (shocks & struts) for $650 (not sure how much shipping is). Has anyone ever used these? I have read a lot of good stuff about them, especially from porsche owners. Also, when I look at buying the Koni sport separately they are about $100 less. Any thoughts on this? I got the prices from Koni.com.

Porsche owners have more money than I do. I used and liked the Koni Sport, which are a lot cheaper. Look around on the WWW for better prices. Make sure you don't have self-leveling shocks in the rear if it is a wagon.

Klaus,

When I go directly to the Koni website, it is much cheaper than FCP or any other website (shox.com, tirerack, etc.) Here is the breakdown:

FCP Koni sport shocks $254
FCP Koni sport struts $465

Koni.com sport shocks $185
Koni.com sport struts $372

Koni.com FSD Kit $650.00

On my 94 850 I put Bilstein HD on the back and Bilstein touring on the front and that set cost around $500. So for $60 more I get Koni sport all around and $150 more I get Koni FSD.

Granted, I prefer not to drop $650 at once, but I've only seen the FSD sold as a kit. Have you seen it sold separately?

Edwin

The FSD is a kit and cannot be used in the front while leaving something else on the rear.

Thanks Klaus. I read that one earlier. Looks like I'm going to go with the yellow since I don't have 650 at the moment. Will do shocks this month and struts in the summer.
