Rougher ride with Koni FSD's

Anyone else with Koni FSD's come across this problem that the ride is now rougher?
I find now I actively search out manhole covers and potholes just to remind myself
what an improvement they and non-runflats make from the OEM setup. Maybe one
day I'll get over it and drive over the smooth blackstuff again.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs

Hah!

Yes, I confess I found the same (although I still have the run-flats). Fortunately, it only lasted about a week (although there is an especially poor section of 85 that even a few months on I find myself deliberately aiming at from time to time). Unfortunately, smooth blackstuff is somewhat scarce around here...

Aah - terrible thread title - I can't wait to have the FSDs installed (this Friday) and the title of your thread chilled me for a minute there..
