Translation of this post - I'm on Panheads nutsack, and I used spell checker to type 'Narcissist'.

I can't think of a nicer place to be but that's just me, I've always been a little narcissistic about my nuts.

Did you spell check your nuts? Or just stare at them in a mirror?

  • Koni Special Active (FSD). They sound good, but they don't seem to offer a specific FE2 version like e.g. Monroe do. As far as I can tell they have the same part number for all the SV6 sedans. I wonder how well the damping is matched to the FE2 springs?

The original/old Koni FSDs or the new Koni Special Actives (red)?

Shocks are pretty much nearing the end of their life, or could be there depending on how old they are too. Are they leaking at all? Cheapest I would go are KYBs, they're pretty good compared to other stuff at the same cost (Monroe, Pedders etc...). Just FYI too shock absorbers won't change your height.

What about tyres/wheels - diameter, pressure, tyre type/age?

If you're going from a non gas shock to a gas shock ride hieght will be changed.
