Hi guys,
I am considering installing Koni FSD in my 318i e46 as in my area (Maputo) the roads are not so comfortable. I saw them at SV-concepts.com costinf USD 700. What do you think of these shocks and this price.

Also considering these for my Focus ST. Cost for me will be R4850 excluding fitment. Stock shocks are more or less the same price if not a few hundred rands cheaper.

Maybe you are right, I´ll do the calculations. But even if I buy from you I still need to pay duties isn´t it? By the way , do you own a store?(curious because of the warranty thing)

The guys in the states love these shocks, particularly for cars with the sports package. The FSD technology works wonders on poor quality roads, or so I've read.

I retail for Koni SA :)

not sure on what duties you will pay for shipping from SA but if you make a trip over the border no duties needed :rollsmile:

had a quick look on the SV-concepts.com site and when you checkout that item they add $60 for 'tax'... cant check shipping pricing without making an account with them but it will be $100+ on an item like this...

I see, so you are my only (pricey) salvation:cry:... If I buy from you definitely I will cross the border. I am planning to go to joburg next month so I´ll contact you and ask for a discount.heheh:rollsmile:

I had them on my GTI as well as H&R springs.

They are fantastic shocks. They offer fantastic handling, but ride comfort stays almost the same as oem.

Just get it, you won't be disappointed.

Agreed, but I fitted it for trackdays, and it was an absolute joy.

Sadly not.

Took the car to Steve Hurley and he fitted it for me. Apart from the uprated brakes and a remap, the car was stock.

Was a hoot to drive though, did 1:16's at Z with semis.

Maybe best to keep stock springs . no use going lower .
Shocks will be a good bet for better compression and rebound control .
