I have absolute proof that the Koni FSD shocks on the rear of our 24 foot E450 Class C are doing something: With the stock shocks back there a latch on our shower door (in the very back) would always disengage after a few miles from the pounding when traveling on our torn up freeways and highways. With the Koni FSD shocks in the rear this now NEVER happens due to their high frequency operating mode.

Of course my experience is with a small Class C that way underloads the rear leaf springs of an E450. I haven't tried the Koni FSD shocks on the front yet, and I'm real curious as to how they will do with the coil springs.

Also, side-to-side roll control has not been affected with the Koni FSD shocks in the rear - it's still excellent due to the underloaded E450 chassis with the stock front and rear torsion bars and with the Koni FSD shocks operating in their low frequency stiff mode during rolling motions.

If those were the OEM shocks, any of the new Bilstein's , Monroe, Koni's shocks would have helped with the slam/pounding. ;)

Heck I can say the same thing about the Bilstein's I replaced on my 2 older MH's I had. Same scenario before replacing the shocks would get the slam/pounding driving over bridge expansion joints or even cracks in the road, once I replaced them with the Bilstein's no more harsh slam...
No more porpoising going through dips unlike what I still get with these koni's ....
