Koni FSD 2100-4090

<< < (4/4)

So for us younger drivers who ride comfort is a secondary thought, these 2100-4090 shocks with Eibach Pro springs are a much cheaper solution to full coilovers, but still offer an improved handling without sacrificing all the ride comfort?

I ask as I've remapped my GTI, and along with a big brake upgrade, I'd like to fit better dampers and springs to reduce weight shift a bit under moderate/heavy braking.

Bilstiein b12 kit mk6 version - more comfortable than the mk5 version allegedly but still fits the mk5.

Interesting... I'm currently waiting delivery of some VWR springs (which are on offer currently!) and was tempted to fit these to some of the Koni's in place of the Eibach (which, ironically, are pretty much the same springs as they are both made by Eibach!). Just looking for a cheap way to improve the car's stability and handling until I go the full hog (coilovers, ARB, bush kit and all other bits).

Beeps:
Well I have now run my Mk5 GTi for 8000 miles on the Koni FSD 2100-4001 and before that 10000 miles on the FSD 2100-4090. I can see why Koni make a different model for the GTi as the 4090 made the car handle better with a little softening of the ride whereas the 4001 make it a smooth touring car which tightens up nicely when you need it.

Having run 80,000 miles on FSds on my Mk4 GTi I was expecting a softer ride from the 4090 ( and so was the missus) which is why I went to the 4001 which I am happy with.

For handling and the GTi-feel fit 2100-4090, for comfort and less noise from the passenger seat fit 2100-4001.

I am about to put the Koni FSD 2100-4090 set on the For Sale section for £280 when I get a second.
