    Koni are not crap. They work better with H&R springs or Koni springs as they are suppose to work with lowering springs.

    They are not much more stiff than the OE setup on compresion (hence the springs do better things up) but they do have a much more controled rebound.

    It's very recommended for someone that wants a confortable system for everyday. As I say it's very similar to many modern Audi's with the sport suspension upgrade.

    Cheers,
    94' RS2 Coupe TT (Twin Torsen )

      I have Bilstein on my coupe with Stock springs and find it perfect for me. Tight and controlled, never on bump stops, confortable but very occasionally (big couple of undulations on the motorway) floaty at the front.

      I would be more than happy to show off, I mean take anyone out in it on Saturday at the garage day if they want to feel it....

This is not Konis fault but my own. I should have sourced some shocks with remote resevoirs but I couldn't find anything OTS and took the easy option. Standard and aftermarket parts just cannot take the abuse.
        im having the same prob with koni top adjustable, put them on in september on the hardest setting now it like having standard shockers, changing front stuts for RS2 one's with bilstein shockers so will see how these perform incidently i do live down a cr4ppy back road so i dont expect any shock to last that long!!
