Koni FSD Shocks for Volvo S80 T6 SE - Front and Rear

Post by Tim41 »

Just installed Koni FSD shocks on Front and Rear, and reused the existing springs. I have to say that the car feels unbelievably different.

There is no understeer when coming into a corner, the car handles bumps with no harshness but still retains that sporty feel.

Installing Rear shocks was easy, didn't take too long at all.

Installing Front Shocks was a little more difficult and time consuming. You have to use the origianl struts as a sleeve and install the new Koni FSD shock cartridge into the old strut. This involves drilling hole in bottom of the old strut to release fluid and then cutting the top off the old strut, this is so the new Koni FSD shock cartridge can be installed into the casing.
