A lot depends on your intended use and of course your preferences. For fast road use I prefer the Koni FSD over the M030. I've had old and new M030 and the FSD feels more composed over the bumpy stuff and just as if not more composed when you want to change direction quickly, brake hard and corner hard.

I went for the Koni FSD (currently known as the "Special Active" now) over the M030 as well. A lot of the 993 and 964 folks often track their cars running the Koni FSD/Special Actives and have great results without having to sacrifice comfort on the street. I'm happy with my setup.

I'm running Yellow Speed Racing on my 986. They are great value for money.

[QUOTE=Escy;616962]I'm running Yellow Speed Racing on my 986. They are great value for money.

how long have you been running them and are they holding up? I'm a street driver, although VERY spirited. I dont like a harsh ride but expect to feel the road and the car to stiffen somewhat.
the others I run across in the bargain bin are godspeed (800 bucks) and ksport (1200 bucks). I could go either way or stay in the middle. Ive seen some reviews on the godspeed and some folks say they fail after a few years.

BTW, These look great; I'm sure everyone would like to hear more about them.

I'll look again at the M030 and Koni option. It looks like with these options I am reusing the springs and hardware, but Koni are also on sale at pelican. I guess I am gambling that my springs are serviceable and still equal across the corners, no uneven sagging?

Thx
