Koni's are superb. However, as with most uprated shocks, they aren't geared to take a drop of any more than 30mm.

Some manufacturers such as G-Max, make a different Shock for cars lowered more. Personally, 30mm is enough for me.

konis are good usually on most cars . but as i have a combi van and right now its totally gutted apart from one seat and as it is , really bumpy , im hoping that when i add weight , around 75-90 kilo ,it might tame it , but i have a feeling its still going to be too harsh ........ill look into other shocks more , but keep em coming guys

What profile tyres are you on ? Going slightly taller could add a little more comfort.
