Hi all

I got my garage to put in Koni FSDs in my 850 T-5 and I now hate the drive quality.

The car is now higher in front quite significantly - I reckon by about 1.5 to 2 inches, and the rear is higher by about about an inch. Hence the ride is now a lot more wobbly than I am used to.

Is this 'normal' for an 850 with these types of shocks? Do I need new lower springs as well? I had thought the original springs were pretty low!

Has anyone who've put in these shocks encountered the same issue?

Thanks
Lucast
