Default opinions: Koni FSD vs Koni Sports shocks

I have the Eibach springs on the way and started thinking, Since I am already half way there I should replace the Shocks. Koni FSD or koni Sport Shocks combined with the Eibach pro kit springs seem to be a good fit, but which one. Any thoughts if the FSD are $325 better than the adjustable yellow sports shocks?



third option is just to wait until the shocks need replaced.

P.S. don't tell my wife

replace the shocks now, save the labor and headaches....

sport is stiffer even with the lowest setting, and a bit more harsh, better for track

fsd is the best all-round shock, where it absorves small daily bumps, but still has quick rebounds under heavier cornering

Default Thanks

I appreciate the input!
Think I will get the FSD's to keep the ride slightly more compliant. Can't wait to get them on the car.

Apples and oranges, but I've been running Neuspeed Sport Springs and Koni FSDs on my '07 GTI 4 door for 35K miles. Ride is actually much more compliant than stock and handling improved to boot. I agree with freshfrompacificrim's opinion.
