Koni FSD shockers - mixing with OEM
« on: March 02, 2013, 12:07:38 pm »
I have two front shockers in the shed which are Koni FSD, and OEM shockers on the back, with AP lowering springs - anyone mixed and matched these shockers or is it a bad idea?

The front AP shocks I put on I don't think are up to the job, can't put the FSD rears on as they were heavily leaking and binned.

Thanks

Fsd's are supposed to have a lifetime warranty if you're the original owner.
Personally I would mix it up...
Without traction power is nothing!

I have no idea when they were put on, two owners ago at least, and no receipt in the history, anyway the rears are long gone.

I'm going to try the fronts anyway seeing as I have them, will put car on the ramp Monday.
