hello, I am looking for shocks for to mate with the h&r sport lowering springs installed on my car. Right now my car is very harsh on uneven roads and I am looking to replace the shocks but don't know which one to choose from. I really want to get the Koni FSD damper shocks but I am unsure whether they would work with the h&r sport springs, but they do work with the eibach pro-kit springs. My other choices are the Koni Yellow sport shocks or the Blistien Sport shocks. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Its probably your H&R's heh. I've heard from a few people that H&R's lower you by quite a bit but the spring rates are pretty high, giving a harsh ride. You can probably switch to eibach/koni fsd and you'll notice a huge difference

Thanks for your suggestion only problem is I like the lower stance with the h&r sports, maybe even change it out to even a more leveled lower stance rather than the raked look it has now, maybe I'll just jump on the bandwagon, and get the KW V2 coilovers. Where is the best/cheapest place for the KW V2's? Also, anybody with them want to chime in on the performance/handling & comfort on the KW's, thanks.

I LOVE my Koni sports. They are adjustable, YELLOW, (looks so cool from a distance flatline view), and the performance on corners etc is really good. My H&R sport springs give quite a stiff ride, but its worth it once Summer comes around and I have the sport tires on with the gorgeous drop. Its just a perfect marriage. I "was" going to go with Eibach but I didn't want it to be the height of the OEM sport package.

I like my bilstein sports but I have never been in a car with koni's so can't compare.

You can run the FSDs with the H&R Sports. I would recommend these over the Bilsteins as they automatically adjust under cornering and provide a comfortable ride will maintaining that improvement in performance.

Joe is running with bilstein sports with H&R sport springs on his 545, and Im personally on bilstein sports as well but with eibach pro-kit springs. PM replied btw
