Default I'm thinking about a new suspension. Koni FSD w/ eibach springs.

I know a lot of you run this setup. I would like a fairly stiff ride. I am worried that the FSDs will be to soft for my liking. Are my suspicions true, or are they pretty stiff shocks? My other choice would be Koni Sport shocks (the yellow ones) with eibach springs. Which setup should I go with?
Thanks.

spring sets hardness of bumps and shocks set speed of bumps.

Default The FSD Konis, dampening stiffness depends on the stroking speed/frequency

of the damper rod. On small, closely spaced bumps, the damping is lighter/less stiff, in comparison to the firmer higher damping stiffness applied when larger bumps spaced further apart are crossed.

The main variable, is the bump stroke frequency occurring and the damping varies as needed.

I had the FSD shocks with stock non sport springs, then with OEM sport springs, and the ride with the sport springs, is tighter, and firmer, than with the non sport springs, while also not as harsh as the stock shocks and non sport springs.
I really like the FSD shocks with the OEM sport springs.

Default Oh ok. I don't know much about this stuff. I just want a suspension that gives me limited body roll.

Which setup would do that better?
