Koni FSD or Road king shock

I've got a 2006 CountryCoach 40' with Koni FSD.
I set them in the stiffess position.
I wander if I install Roadking it will reduce the hoping up and down.
Does someone have change from koni to roadking?
Thanks in advance

  • Actually, Koni FSD's are NOT adjustable.

    If yours are adjustable, the are the "regular" Koni shocks.
  • My Allure had factory-installed Koni FSD's which, as Brett noted, are not adjustable. The FSD's are not stout enough for the front axle weight on our coaches. I replaced the FSD's with Koni's SP3 which is their strongest adjustable shock. I adjusted them to the max firm setting and backed off one notch before installing. My coach no longer bounces or bottoms out.

    I understand Road Kings are really top notch but I am satisfied with the SP3's.
  • Koni FSD's where a big improvement on our P30 that had 23K mile Bilstein's.

    The are not manually adjustable.
  • First thing I would do is make sure your ride height is correct as it can cause porpoising.

    I installed the FSD shocks and in 25,000 miles they rode no better than the old Konis I took off.

    I then had the Road Kings installed and they made a huge difference. I wish I had spent the $$ on the Road Kings to start with.

    Forget the Koni.
  • I have had Road Kings on my 2004 CC Inspire for four years. Great improvement and great ride!
  • Your shocks are probably red which are the adjustables. The gold are the FSD's. The FSD's made a huge improvement on my Monaco along with the ride height adjustment as "dons2346" mentioned.

    I would love to have/try the Road Kings, but with 8 shocks on my Monaco, that will never happen. I wouldn't mind buying four.
