Will fitting Koni Fsd's to my MCS & using the original Springs Lower it at all, even by afew mm's?
If not, is it worth putting some Eibach 30mm springs on & will it make the ride very hard?

correct me if i'm wrong but some konis have the height adjustable perch so you might be able to lower it just with the shocks. For hondas koni have the height adjustable perch on their shocks.

Koni FSD's are made to be used with stock springs. Using them with lowering springs will probably shorten their life span.

Yeah, i've come to the decision of using the standard springs from all the advice of other posts on here!
Cheers Lads!

What a difference, I can honestly say they are the best thing you can do to your mini!!
The ride is fatastic, no more harsh bumps but with all the same handling as before!
Great Upgrade
