My opinion is a little different. I think the ride is improved, but in a minor way and not major. I wonder if my OEM shocks were in better condition than those who report a major benefit.

This thread is very interesting I'm due at Spartan at the end of October 2016 so I may or may not have them replace mine while I'm there I'll see how things go between now and then.

Put me down in the Willrobinson camp. I too got the expected improvement in potholes and expansion joints. I was totally unprepared for the difference in the front end feel. Much more solid and no wandering. Feels like a completely different coach. I'm a little surprised at the improvement because I thought it would be limited to just the damping. Can hardly wait to see how this affects the fatigue factor on an all day drive.

Last week I did 12 1/2 hours from North Myrtle Beach to the Gulf Coast of Southern Florida. I didn't realize I had done 12.5 because before the Koni's I was done at about 6 or 7 hours.

Just finished closing the office down today. I've got a local appt for lube and oil change and then an appt at an excellent local dealer to change a shade motor and repair the jackknife sofa and we're off for the summer. Can't wait!

Just finished installing the Koni shocks in front and they are quite a bit beefier! See sis by side pic. As noted by earlier poster, loosening the bottom plate made it quite a bit easier installing them.

Thanks for the photo George. Good side by side comparison of how much better sized the Koni's are for our front end. I hope your guy remembered to put the dust cover back on.

I will be giving mine the road test on I-65 in a few weeks. I remember the last trip how bad that section was. It will be a good test for the Koni's.
