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

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.

Pros: Great road feel, solid handling, comfortable
Vehicle: Mazda

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.

Pros: ride height looks the same
Cons: ride quality a bit harsher

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
