I've had my Koni FSD + M030 suspension for 15 months and around 13,000 miles, mostly highway driving to/from tracks, and then the track driving.

It is very comfortable, soft is a good word, but much better than the previous worn out struts, which were very floaty if that makes sense.

On track, the car is soft yet firm if that makes sense, it doesn't flop around, but is not bone jarring, for example sebring it soaks up all the bumps.

For a street car, sporty driving, or a beginning to intermediate HPDE car I think it is a great fit. If I were to ever get another street boxster I would get the FSD again when it came time to get new struts.

For my current car, I am down to within 3 seconds of the pro driver that drove my car at Roebling (down from 6) and while I may never get all 3 seconds, I definitely haven't outgrown the suspension, it is not holding me back and I have no plans to move to a more advanced system anytime soon.

Good to hear, sounds like I made a good choice for my street driven with occasional aggressive back roads Boxster. Lets see how the H&R springs match up
