I changed our factory bilsteins with Koni FSD's last week and I must say it was well worth the money. We just took a 700 mile road trip across a very windy California desert and I was truly amazed with the difference in the ride. I never felt like our coach road bad before but with this upgrade it really points out how under shocked it was with the bilsteins.
Thanks everyone on this form for your invaluable information.

The Koni FSD Shock works very well across a number of platforms. 
I've had mine for about 3 years.

Thanks in advance,

Glad to hear. After our first "outing" this weekend. It was obvious new shocks were needed. I ordered 4 Koni's yesterday. My knuckles were white for hours after a short 3 hour drive. Our Coach sure has allot of "jounce" in the front. Hope the Koni's help. Thank you for the feedback.

Shocks installed yesterday. Test drove today and what a difference. We went through some pretty rough areas under construction on I-25. We drove through there just last weekend. In one area, the suspension bottomed out. Today, maybe half that. Thanks to all for the information oin the Konis. Well worth it.
