I put Bilsteins on my last two MH's
Thought I'd try the Koni's FSD's this time around from reading some of the reviews here and on a couple other forums.
Just got back from a 730 mile round trip on the same road I had taken a few weeks back with the stock shocks vs the Koni's FSD this weekend.
I've traveled this same road with all 3 MH's several times..
For the ones that have traveled on the roads , its Hwy 20 from Williams Ca over to Clear Lake on over to Willits to Hwy 101 and then Hwy 1 to Fort Bragg ,back on 101 on up to Eureka/Trinadad and back.
Lots of twists, turns, uneven roads, road construction to torn up roads.
A good test run for any mods,,, Anti Sway Bars , Shocks, S-T-P, Trac Bar etc.
The Hellwig anti sway bars I installed did made a big difference, the Koni's I feel did not.
I knew I should have went with my gut instinct and stayed with the Bilsteins HD! Wished I did now.
NOT impressed with the Koni's FSD's one bit...
Yes the Koni's did help over the stock ones , BUT every dip in the road the front end just dove right in and bounced back up.
Whereas the Bilsteins handled the dips A LOT better. They didn't have that initial uneasy dive feeling like the Koni's do and the stock shocks !
Also absolutely no difference between them (Koni) and the stock shocks slow driving over road cracks you still get the slam in the rear, but at speed the Koni's are better than the stock shocks.
To be fair tho the Bilsteins on my other MH's did too but I still feel did better than the Koni's ...
One more thing the stock shocks were gas filled , I was kinda surprised about that considering on my last MH's they were not.
I paid $628.00 delivered to my door for the Koni's FSD's , should have stayed with the Bilstiens and saved $230.00 ...
This is on a 2011 Aspect 28B 29.7 ft on a E450 chassis...
So my vote is for the Bilsteins HD ...
