Yes.

The Bilstein's are HD shocks NOT "stiff" shocks.

Then what are Bilstein's Comfort shocks? I'm willing to bet that Bilstein means for their "HD" shocks to be stiffer than their "Comfort" shocks. Some suppliers that sell Bilstein shocks actually recommend different part nos. for small cutaway van based motorhomes versus other Bilstein part nos. for larger cutaway van based motorhomes. All this is confusing, to say the least.

Koni's FSD did a good write up sales pitch on their shocks, they even have you preaching their sales pitch advertisement.

Please refute point by point why what they say doesn't make sense based on the physics of what's happening with respect to unsprung weight, spring rate, RV weight, and type of road surfaces. As I understand it, some race cars use special $$$$ variable damping rate shocks that adjust automatically several times per second.

After reading about the Koni FSD shock technology years ago I looked into buying them for our Ford E-Series based Class C motorhome and they were not offering them at the time ... only for the Class A and Class C+ motorhome chassis. I called Koni and discussed with them the need for FSD shock models for the popular Ford and Chevy cutaway van chassis being used in so many U.S. Class C motorhomes. A couple of years later Koni introduced part nos. for the 3X and 4X class LD truck chassis - including the Ford E-350/E-450 and Chevy 3500/4500 van chassis.
