I had Bilstein Sports + H&R sports on my coupe for a while and switched to Koni Yellow SA. The ride is better IMO and not as harsh.
Reviews of KONI parts For Business
Netherlands
I picked the car up yesterday after having the Special Actives installed. AMAZING difference in the way the car rides and drives. Gone is the Toyota Avalon feeling, having been replaced by an Audi-like feeling.
I have Koni oranges paired up with Swift springs. Comfortable enough daily driving and sporty enough for the mountains.
Koni yellow with gc sleeves and springs ~50% stiffer than stock to balance ride comfort and handling. Drives like a rally car without the sway bars, drives like a sports car with them.
the stock struts were blown out and the car was pogo'ing on large bumps at around 65k mi. Not sure how hard or careless the first owner was but I've never had struts go bad this early but I just replaced with Koni struts and H&R Sport springs. Otherwise, its been running like a champ with all major service kept up
I went with Koni Yellows on my TSX and its a daily driver. It does well over bumpy pavement and over railroad tracks.
I adjusted the rebound (has 2 full turns/720 degrees of adjustability) to a quarter turn from full soft and reused my OEM springs and strut hats. The car rides really well and handles bumps much better after about 100 miles of driving around. It rides firm like a E90 3 series sedan. I do not have complaints about the ride quality and I got to ride over bumpy roads in Dallas and over some railroad tracks over the past few days.
Installed Koni Yellow shocks and really love how it firms up the ride.
I have the Koni active shocks on the back, along with a Nuespeed rear sway bar and can definitiely tell the difference.
After two failed sets of FSDs I'm sure and hope these new active series address the QC issues that the FSDs had on occasion. Loved them before they started leaking at around 40K
