Just got the Koni special active's installed last night and so far am very impressed! I can still feel the high spring rate of the '21 MY springs under some conditions, but the harshness has been taken off considerably! It's a MUCH more comfortable ride over all the expansion joints, railroad tracks, potholes, etc. Definitely worth the money.
Koni makes excellent shocks. Bilstein is number one and has been in my 70 years on this planet. There’s just no substitute for a Bilstein.
They are a little stiffer than stock. I’ve had Bilsteins on a 4th Gen Camaro, an 2002 Grand Prix, and a 2007 GMC Envoy. They were stiffer and improved handling on all the vehicles they were put on. You won’t be disappointed with the 5100 if you are looking more a little more performance than stock.
Koni Yellows with IEM Stage 3 (H&R’s progressive rate springs were out of stock at the time,) So good. Did all the bushings/linkages at the same time, it drives like a dream
I ran Bilstein B8 and Eibach on my previous E30.
I really liked it, but apparently Eibach springs are very soft, so there are probably many better options for track use.
Bilstein/HR sport combo. Great for a street car if your roads arent perfect
I've been through stock, Bilstein Sports, H&R Race, stock length housing coilovers, and various cheap camber plates and after all of that, I'm finally happy with my setup.
I run koni yellow and hr sport on my vert and it’s been excellent. Just as comfortable as stock with a much more planted feel
My brother got KYB ones and they are ok.
They are on the softer side, but so far they last pretty good. 3 years and 60000km and no leaks.
I have the 22 at4 with the stock rancho on there. Got the truck in march of last year and already had one of the rear shocks go out.
