My Ride: BMW E60 530i , Silver with leather Air Con iDrive 17" Breyton Rims with Dunlop Sp Sport tyres (M-Tech Bodykit and rims WANTED)
Alfa Romeo 147 TS1.6 , Black with Air Con 17" Multi Spoke alloys with Bridgestone RE040 tyres

Toyota Celica 1.8 VVTI, Lagoon Blue, Air Con, 16" Standard alloys with Kuhmo KU31, EBC Green Stuff
Guys, got my car back last night with the Koni FSD fitted. 
The ride is a slightly stiffer than the stock in the city road but more compromise on the highway,
on the handling side, i definitely feel the FSD "working" when turn into the corners,
the car now is more willing and keen to entry the corner at higher speed, and you'll feel it stiff up during the corners, pretty cool!
The road feedback from the shocks were great through the corners aswell.
Haven't push it hard yet since it is still so new, but i will keep you updated if anyone wants to know.

what size do you guys usually run on? i see people putting on bigger n bigger rims recently, and I dunno but 20" seems pretty normal nowadays!
The 20" will also ruin the handling aswell, although my 19" are not far behind
