Shock absorbers KONI or OEM Toyota

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

Koni yellow shocks and struts, neuspeed lowering springs, and GLI front and rear discs w/ECS braided lines... the car rides and drives beautifully now!

Koni Heavy Track Raid but just be sat down when you look at the price

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.

I got Koni Oranges with Vogtland springs on the MK5 Rabbit.

B6 or similar (forget the Koni equal) would be a huge step forward.

Took her out on the HWY for an extended drive thrashing. Its a totally diff car now! Has great road feel while cruising but much more solid handling and tracking at higher speeds that before would get sloppy and concerning. even at almost triple digits it was poised and confidence inspiring. Also comfortable! Can't stress this enough they wont ruin the ride like normal stiffer shocks. The Koni SA's really polish the Miata's suspension to give a great ride and expand the performance envelope! Just what the Miata needs to make it a great car. I am very happy with them.

Ok had a chance to get a better feel of the shocks. Took it out in a curvy road nearby. The funny thing is how progressive they feel in how they stiffen up. most of the time they are a light soft shock but as you put more wheel input and the g's come up they firm a lot and support the suspension. It feels like the sway bars got bigger! But when you turn the wheel back to neutral it instantly goes back to comfort mode. Back to soaking up bumps and smoothing out the ride. Magic! Totally love them.

I ended up going with Koni FSDs again along with matching Eibach springs. Tirerack still sold them as a matched kit. Ride height looks to be the same, although ride quality seems a bit harsher. I think these springs have a different spring rate than the stock ones, even though most people thought that the factory springs were Eibach. It's not bad, but I definitely feel every bump in the road.

Running Koni FSD shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit, the Car is mostly used as a family car and wife, but wanted to stiffen things up a bit and close the gap in the wheel well area. Been running these for about 10 months and I LOVE the look, but the ride SUCKS!!! Its just way too bouncy for me and The amount of travel before the shock bottoms out seems like it is about 1\" (although I know it is more) and then you feel all that force through your body. It also seems very \"bouncy\", the ride in the passenger seats is even worse.
