Thread: Update on Koni FSD Shocks

HI All, just another quick update on the Koni FSD shocks. At just over 20,000k's on the Koni's now and having covered the GRR,Karajini, Gunbarrell H'way, Kakadu, Donohue and Plenty H'ways, they are still performing as consistently now as they did the day they were installed. Vehicle stabilty and control still far exceeding the OE set up that was on the vehicle previously albeit on a much firmer ride, as previouly mentioned. Whilst it has only been four months I think most people would agree, considering the roads and conditions they have been subjected to, the Koni's are truly starting to prove their reliabilty given that they have already been subjected to more difficult conditions in 20000k's than most shocks would possibly endure in their working life. If you are comfortable with a firm ride shock then you should be impressed with the Koni's both on and offroad.
Happy travels all

Glad to hear they are holding up well.
I inquired about 4 weeks ago now with TopPerformance and also recontacted them again & again.
They were speaking to the manufacturer regarding these shocks but have still not got back to me.
I was hoping to fit them before my July trip, looks like that will not be happening.

I enquired with the Australian Koni distributor a couple of mths ago about L322 shocks. They decided to no longer supply them as due to conditions here there were too many failures.

So..... can anyone advise if the Koni's are still available for a Disco 3?

I believe the Koni part No FSD 2100-4069 was for a set of 4 shock absorbers.

The back end of our Disco 3 is telling me the right rear shock is shot, so they all need overhauling. I have to order something pronto.

I'm in WA so if anyone can relate their recent shockie replacement experience that would be great. thanks.

Ok, thanks, but if anyone else has used the Koni shocks in Australia in the last year or so I would be interested to know how it went.

Hi All, just a quick note. There's little point in continuing this thread as it seems it will be unlikely that the FSD's that are on my vehicle Will ever come to market to the general public as there appears to be insufficient market value for Koni to produce them. There are currently only 4 sets of the retuned FSD's in Aus including the set on my vehicle and as far as I am aware, mine is the only set fitted to a vehicle. The others are being held for other test vehicles depending on how the set on my vehicle go.
Regards
Brian

Yes this is the reply I got from Top Performance:
Hi Richard,

Due to declining global demand KONI has had to rationalise their product range and FSD kit 2100-4069 is being deleted from their catalogue. Regrettably we cannot supply you the very limited stock on hand as we have had several customers? orders waiting for these products and unfortunately many of these orders were ahead of your enquiry.

Thank you for your patience on this matter, should you have any further KONI enquiries please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Regards Dean

So that's the end of that!
