Since the first automobile bumped down the road, there's been a problem that's plagued the auto industry. How do you increase handling and performance without sacrificing ride comfort? Consumers had to choose between the two because there was no middle ground -- until now.
With the launch of Koni's FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) comes new technology and not just another shock with a fancy name. It takes the world of suspension to a new level. Not only does it increase handling but ride comfort too. It works so well that FSD was first introduced on the Lamborghini Gallardo as an OE product. And now it's available for your car.
With standard shocks, the damping force is caused by a piston moving through oil. However, FSD has a parallel pathway with a special valve controlling the flow of oil. The valve opens when hitting hard bumps and potholes, and the oil flows too fast for the special valve to close. This allows more flow, resulting in a softer damping force and a more comfortable experience.
