I've been running stock springs with Koni Special Actives and an 034 rear sway bar on the softer setting. The Koni's have been perfect for my goals, but I do wish for slightly stiffer springs.
My 86 I\u2019m currently on cost me $14,000. After 4 years with it i have about $3,500-$4,000 worth of up upgrades. pads+ rotors
Koni all day, you simply can't beat the lifetime warranty on them. I had my rears leak after 5 years and Koni replaced for free.
Don't replace the springs, just the shocks. Recommend Koni Special Actives for a bit better ride
My MRR’s have the exact same symptoms. Also around 30k miles. Dobinsons is awesome and is taking it in on warranty no questions asked really. They’re the best.
I’ve got Dobinsons MRA’s on my patrol - highly rate them! I’ve just finished a 7 month lap including the cape and Tele track. Being able to dial them was a godsend for corrugations, definitely helped to dampen the vibrations.
Got me some Dobinsons twin tube shocks and heavy duty coil springs. Totalling to 3’ of lift ✅ money well spent
Just swapping to konis with stock everything else on my 325ic made a huge difference for autox. Comfy enough for thousands at a time lol.
I have the Koni yellows. Stick with OEM Sachs. Unless you are doing a ton of freeway miles, or want the feel of a go-cart(which is a little fun), the shocks are not worth the ride or the money. The ride is too stiff for street, but absolutely perfect on the highway cruising over 85mph for hours.
Bought these Dobinson shocks and coils in October, photos are in May with service records indicating only 2,000 km of driving! Within 5 months these are looking like they wont last 2 years.
