Default Koni Sport Suspension Kit w/ H&R Springs

Any one have inputs on this combo? It's currently available as a package from Koni for less than 1200. My car is a DD but lot of "spirited" canyon carving. Is the M030 or M033 a better match than H&R?

thanks in advance

Having owned both H&Rs and M030 springs, i would say they both felt similar with the M030 a tad stiffer. Both were mounted on Bilstein HDs.

I see that Paragon is having their annual sale on Koni's I am going to pull the trigger on this package. My 90k mile car needs a refresh and at a third of the price of PSS10's I think this should suffice for the street.

I have Koni Yellow/H & R combo. Adjustable damping is a real bonus. My setting is "soft" for daily driving and I like the ride height of H & R. Beautiful ride even on rough roads of Toronto. Very satisfy so far...

Koni Yellow costs less than HD.

Can someone post a ride height picture with this setup? That is a tempting deal!

The only question I'd have, is Koni durability compared to Bilstein.

I emailed Paragon about this deal and the main difference between the Koni Sport and Koni FSD but they haven't replied as of yet.

For a street car that will never wind up on the track what are the pros and cons of each?

As far as I can tell the price would be within a few hundred dollars of each other with the same springs. They don't seem to have a FSD kit on the website so the springs would have to be ordered separately.

I have a 993 C2 with 50k miles on it and the suspension is starting to feel a little wallowy and tired. I'm certainly not looking for a stiff and uncomfortable street/track based suspension. Controlled but comfortable would be the winning formula.

M033/KoniFSD/Walrod bushings could be the winning formula you are looking for.

Is the photo above the lowest this suspension will go or is it adjustable to bring it down some more?
