Koni FSD's -- my perspective
2005 Z51 Conv.
Note: this is just my opinion, not looking for an argument.
Installed Koni fsd's last Saturday on my 05 z51 conv. with 10.5k miles and stock goodyears. They work well. The car feels more centered and balanced. With the stock shocks, the car alway felt like it was dancing on its tippytoes, that is now gone. It also certainly seems to have cured most of the wheel hop. The ride is still taut but less harsh. The car was lowered on its stock bolts to the rubbers, but I found two turns up on the front bolts after the install brought me back to the ride height I wanted. Are they expensive? yes... Would I do it again? yes... Will Luke at the Tirerack meet any advertised price? yes...

Thanks for the write up. I've read similar results from a couple others. The Konis sound like a good idea, especially if they can reduce wheel hop.
