Rating 5.0

I replaced mine around 130k on my 2015 with a pair of Bilstein 5100s, I would have done it way sooner if I knew how much of a difference it would make.

Pros: significant improvement

Mileage: 130000 km

KONI Shock absorbers
Neeqness
  • Body bounce:
Rating 3.5

I've been using Koni Orange's for nearly as long as I've had my FiST and I like them, but I don't think they are the best option if you plan to track or autox (Koni Yellows would be a better fit for that). I like them because they are more comfortable with the oem springs than the oem shocks.

I think it really depends what you pair them with though. I did try them with eibach springs but I didn't like them there (I found out later because eibachs are softer springs and seem to pair better with bilsteins B8s) . The oranges are intended for oem springs, however I've heard of others liking them lowered with swift springs (which are stiffer than the eibachs)...but I don't have personal experience with the swifts.

Pros: more comfortable with OEM springs
Cons: not ideal for track/autox
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

OEM FORD Turbocharger

I had a turbo prematurely fail as well. It was on my 2017 Ford Fusion Sport. On that car, I had a model with a known manufacture defect that was never big enough to trigger a recall. Both of my turbos failed at 70K miles - at the same time - due to a turbo seal defect.

Cons: premature failure, seal defect
Vehicle: Ford Fusion
Mileage: 112654 km
