    Anyone have this combo? I've been on Oranges for the last 70k and the ride is starting to feel harsher. Or, maybe I'm just getting old and soft. I emailed Koni directly about using the Special Actives (reds, formerly known as FSDs) with my Eibach Pro-Kits and they advised against it, claiming that because these cars corner on the bump stops, that I'll be underdamped. However, there are aftermarket shorter bump stops available that could help.

    Bilstein B8s are an option as well, but the lifetime warranty on Konis (they'll even send you replacements if you blow one or out to swap in, and you send your old one back once it's out) is awfully nice.
