Hi Gary -
I'm posting a pre-emptive question in hopes you have some info for us. I've been looking at suspension upgrades for my car for a few weeks now. Koni is a leader and I've had experience with their motorcycle shocks, which I thought were superb. Unfortunately they no longer make them, which is a bummer.

Anyway, there is alot of talk about the Koni FSDs and the reviews are very positive. I have found that some other vendors have specially valved Koni Sport s/a shocks and have been experiencing premature blow-outs of these rear shocks.

What has been the reliability of the FSD shocks so far? Are you experiencing any returns for similar issues?

No known issues with the FSD thus far, and customer feedback has been very positive. The only caveat is that Koni does not recommend using them on a car that has aftermarket lowering springs. Koni says that they are good for the ZHP factory setup.
