Users with Koni FSD's installed, have you noticed this?
Hi All,
I recently installed Koni FSD's on my car and have about 1K miles on them. I have OEM rears w/3mm spacers up front and I kept the stock springs w/out any modification to them (no spring cutting).
So far the FSD's have been more comfortable than stock and they do offer handling that is comparable (though they feel a little softer in general).
One thing has been bothering me about this setup. I've noticed that when I'm going downhill at speed and transitioning to a flat area, it sounds like the tires are rubbing or coming into contact with the fender liner? It sounds like a plastic scrape type sound for a split second. This also happens when going at speed on a flat area of road and there is a sudden dip down. It's like the entire weight of the car seems to dip down and compress the springs enough to where the tires rub the inside of the inner fender liner.
Does anyone else have this problem? I would think this would be a safety issue... do I need to get stiffer springs? TIA.
