Dammit
Anyone used Koni's 'special active' dampers recently? Think they only came out in 2019 or so.
They reckon they have some wizardry in them, but I suspect they just have quite a soft high speed compression tune, and then maybe a conical damper in the low speed circuit above that doesn't allow flow during longer duration compression (body roll/big weight transfers).
They aren't an expensive item so not expecting miracles.
7 years on bilstein B8's and they are finally worn out, nothing leaking, but a few really rough patchs of road in hot weather and now car feels like a wallowing box of rocks. Think they did about 120k which is good in my book.
