Hi guys - new member.
I have just bought a bargain 123k mile 2002 2.7, looked after but obviously a little past its best. I am researching options for dampers.

I've had a quote for M030 at about £1100, I can get Koni sport or Koni FSD for about £550.

Currently I am not fussed about lowering the car - so replacing the shocks only could work. I would probably want to add in some Anti roll bars though.

Has anyone run the Koni sports (or FSD's) on standard springs, particularly older ones? Reccomended or not?

My thinking is a decent ride height and soft-ish springs, but with stiffer ARB's will give a good balance for driving on the tight bumpy roads we have here in the UK but not too roly-poly on the odd trackday.
