If you have a small budget HR sports and Konis are far better than coilovers on the low end. You won’t be super low busy it will handle and ride nice.

Pros: handle and ride nice
Cons: won't be super low

On the road, these Koni’s ride amazingly well. They compress and rebound faster than the stock dampers. Subjectively, this helps soak up road imperfections, but returns the tire to the road surface more quickly. This helps eliminate head toss and vibration through the chassis. Additionally, the FSD technology allows for softer compression under high frequency (large/harsh) impacts. This nets in a smooth ride over rough road conditions, but the composed and sporty handling is not compromised either. The ride feels significantly more premium.

Pros: smooth ride, sporty handling

I did the Konis with the BMR SP009 springs, and while firm, the ride is comfortable and compliant.

Pros: comfortable and compliant ride
Cons: firm ride

On our 2014 Mini Cooper S Roadster we installed these Koni’s just a couple of months ago. Ride is much smoother without loosing any steering feel. Speed bumps are much less of a problem now.

Pros: smoother ride, retains steering feel, handles speed bumps
Vehicle: MINI

I\u2019ve had the Koni Special Active shocks & struts for 2 months now. They\u2019re OK. They do ride very comfortably, you do feel every bump, they do stiffen, a bit, when the occasion calls for it. Definitely an upgrade over the OEM struts and shocks on my 2015 VW CC R-Line had but I definitely wish they were a bit stiffer overall.

Pros: ride very comfortably
Cons: wish they were stiffer
Vehicle: Volkswagen

i have the Koni STR.T and Eibach Prokit combo and have had it for about 2.5 years/30k miles. I'm currently looking at either Koni Yellows or Bilstein B8 shocks. The Konis were great for the first year, but after the first year, the rear shocks failed. Now the fronts are getting very rough and feel bouncy like when I had the Eibach prokit springs on failed stock shocks/struts.

Pros: great for the first year
Cons: rear shocks failed, feel bouncy
