Took her out on the HWY for an extended drive thrashing. Its a totally diff car now! Has great road feel while cruising but much more solid handling and tracking at higher speeds that before would get sloppy and concerning. even at almost triple digits it was poised and confidence inspiring. Also comfortable! Can't stress this enough they wont ruin the ride like normal stiffer shocks. The Koni SA's really polish the Miata's suspension to give a great ride and expand the performance envelope! Just what the Miata needs to make it a great car. I am very happy with them.

Pros: Great road feel, solid handling, comfortable

Vehicle: Mazda

Ok had a chance to get a better feel of the shocks. Took it out in a curvy road nearby. The funny thing is how progressive they feel in how they stiffen up. most of the time they are a light soft shock but as you put more wheel input and the g's come up they firm a lot and support the suspension. It feels like the sway bars got bigger! But when you turn the wheel back to neutral it instantly goes back to comfort mode. Back to soaking up bumps and smoothing out the ride. Magic! Totally love them.

Pros: Progressive stiffening, comfort mode, soaks bumps

Amazing shocks! Spent the weekend putting them on. Mines a 96. 114k miles the original shocks were not completely dead but almost no rebound. Cant wait to take them on the HWY. Smooth on the street and firm in the twisties!

Pros: Smooth on street, firm in twisties

Koni yellow. They’re adjustable and can be extremely stiff or nice and soft, and you get to decide what they feel like. They can be dialed up for a track day or put back down to soft for bad roads. I absolutely love them.

Pros: adjustable, stiff or soft

Just purchased a set of front Koni STR.T for my Son's 08 C30 T5 2.0 M66. Bilstein are in the back. Had the resources to upgrade suspension parts in the late 80's and Koni has been the best thus far compared to Bilstein, Gabriel, KYB and Monroe on various makes.

Pros: Koni has been best

Vehicle: Volvo C30

They make Koni Yellows for the MK1. I loved them on my Corrado SLC. The Koni Yellows for the Corrado SLC were entire struts for the front. I set them right in the middle on stock springs. They were comfortable and it handled as well as my '78 Scirocco on +0 wheels and tires. I like that you could tighten them up if you wanted them stiffer or soften them for a cushy ride. Right in the middle was comfortable on the potholed streets of Hampton Roads but it still cornered like it was on rails.

Pros: comfortable, cornered like rails

Vehicle: Volkswagen Corrado

I\u2019ve had the Koni Special Active shocks & struts for 2 months now. They\u2019re OK. They do ride very comfortably, you do feel every bump, they do stiffen, a bit, when the occasion calls for it. Definitely an upgrade over the OEM struts and shocks on my 2015 VW CC R-Line had but I definitely wish they were a bit stiffer overall.

Pros: ride very comfortably

Cons: wish they were stiffer

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Running Koni FSD shocks and Eibach Pro-Kit, the Car is mostly used as a family car and wife, but wanted to stiffen things up a bit and close the gap in the wheel well area. Been running these for about 10 months and I LOVE the look, but the ride SUCKS!!! Its just way too bouncy for me and The amount of travel before the shock bottoms out seems like it is about 1\" (although I know it is more) and then you feel all that force through your body. It also seems very \"bouncy\", the ride in the passenger seats is even worse.

Pros: love the look

Cons: ride SUCKS, too bouncy
