Passing the torch.

Picked up a set of Koni Special Active dampers over Black Friday. Plan is to go back to stock springs with these and keep the EuroSport camber mounts up front. I have Ohlins road and track on now which feel awesome when pushing the car, but decided the ride is too busy for daily duty. When I get around to doing the swap those will go up in the classifieds.

Not for the ride, but snagged one last year and it’s so comfortable I snagged another one

Yeah....., you don't want those KSA's...
Horrible, just horrible.

Tell you what, your soooo much better off just keeping the Ohlins so you should just go ahead and send the KSA's to me for free! I need some crappy shocks for..., um......, an experiment.... yeah, experiment, that's the ticket, yeah.......

I'm just that nice of a guy that I am totally willing to help out another forum member like this!

Zimmerman rotors and Akebono Ceramic pads for the front came from FCP very quickly. Ordered on Monday and got here Friday.

Hope these pads are decent. Previously ran semi metallic pads and they were great however, they made the front wheels dirty within a few days which didnt bother me since I was the cars very often. I know these pads are cleaner for the wheels. I just hope their good for city & highway with some spirited driving. South FL is mainly flats roads and curves are highway exits.

Also trying this liquimoly fuel injector cleaner for the first time. Top of the pistons have a good amount of carbon @ 125k.

This morning the factory battery finally gave up the ghost at just under 51,000 miles and almost 8 years. It had been cranking slowly for the past week or so, so I'm glad it decided to die in the garage.

I replaced it with a Walmart H6 AGM battery and an Aliexpress cloth battery cover for the bigger size (replacing an H5). I've only had the cover for 4 years - I didn't at all expect the original battery to last this long!

And yes, I did the coding for the new battery using OBDeleven, especially since it was a different type.

I am confused by these struts. How are they "active" yet "not adjustable"?

Are they "active" in the sense that they work with the cars Active Chassis Control (ACC) system? If so, where do the electronics connect?

If they do not work with ACC, and they are "not adjustable", then how are they "active"?

Makes no sense to me...

Google really isn't that hard

really just spiffy valving setup, but too early to type it up so it makes sense....

you are reading into the name... I guess they should have called them "reactive" instead. They react to the movements of the car adjusting the valving to reduce undesired movement. I think they used to be called FSD when they came up with the technology.

Yes, correct.

FSD - Frequency Selective Damping

FWIW, I love mine regardless of the name haha.
