Shock absorbers KONI or GABRIEL

People keep saying Bilstein, but I’d highly recommend Koni yellows. I’ve had Bilstein b6/b8 and they always get harsh over broken pavement. The Konis are much more smooth, less bouncy, just much nicer overall. They have knobs for rebound adjustment as well.

I finally bit the bullet this week and ordered a full set of Special Active shocks from KONI (who I believe licenses their Frequency Selective Damper technology to Tesla)

The result is way better than I expected!! I don’t regret it one bit! It basically ate up all the small bumps on the road. I regularly find myself going over 90mph on the highway without realizing because of how smooth it is!! And this is with the stock springs.

I have Koni stocks and H&R springs with a 20 mm lift (barely noticeable). I like the way the car became more stable and controlled on gravel and highways. However, springs are considerably stiffer, and with 1-2 passengers suspension feels a bit rigid, but just great when the car is fully loaded.

Highly recommend Koni shock absorbers, they are amazing on corrugations, can sit on 100km/h easily.

I've been running stock springs with Koni Special Actives and an 034 rear sway bar on the softer setting. The Koni's have been perfect for my goals, but I do wish for slightly stiffer springs.

My 86 I\u2019m currently on cost me $14,000. After 4 years with it i have about $3,500-$4,000 worth of up upgrades. pads+ rotors

Koni all day, you simply can't beat the lifetime warranty on them. I had my rears leak after 5 years and Koni replaced for free.

Don't replace the springs, just the shocks. Recommend Koni Special Actives for a bit better ride

I've been thru multiple sets of the Oranges and the current set have around 20k on the rear and 45k on the front. The rebound damping has always been sub par on these IMO.

i put gabriels on my 2014 impala and I cannot even shake the car by hand its so stiff..
