Shock & Strut Kit (Koni FSD) Koni’s new Frequency Selective Dampening (FSD) shock is the latest technology from the shock company’s line-up of high performance shocks and struts. Unlike a conventional shock, Koni FSDs can dynamically change the shock valving, depending on the frequency of the impact and its severity. The compromise between comfort and handling is nearly gone.
In addition to the standard valving on the shock, a parallel valve can open and close in response to suspension movement. This additional valve provides the needed adjustment to keep the suspension soft on uneven road surfaces and firm on even road surfaces. No cables, wires, or valves to turn, FSDs adjust as needed. FSDs are sold in sets of four in order to keep the vehicle’s shock balance even front to rear.
Combine with ipd safety anti-sway bars and you have the perfect balance between comfort and superior road holding.

LOVE..... is a word worth using.... when paired with IPD sport springs. Very street-able for every day use, yet aggressive looking and tons of cornering capabilities when needed.

I have a 98 V70 T5, with 285,000 miles on it. 200,000 of those miles has been on Bilstein HD shocks and struts all around with IPD HD sways front and rear. 100,000 miles ago, I installed Eibach springs. The handling was wonderful, but the ride quality suffered greatly. I drive 100 miles a day for my round trip commute and cover a variety of road conditions. Some streets with railroad tracks I just grew to avoid so I wouldn’t have to experience the bone jarring, interior vibrating, bumps. I’ve read a lot about the Koni FSD’s, and if they are half as good as the claims, they would be the answer to my prayers. My pocket book was in a position to say ‘yah lets give them a try’. I just finished the install, the fitment is excellent and the ride can only be described as miraculous. The sharp edges to a bump I was used to feeling, now gone! The cornering is every bit as good as with the Bilstein HD’s. Comfort and secure handling, the best of both worlds, this is what a quality sports car is supposed to feel like. I guess you could say that I recommend them, you’ll recover from the price, but the ride is priceless.
ipd customer service response: Bilstein HD shocks can be a bit harsh on lowered vehicles.

This is the best shocks you can buy for your Volvo! unlike the bistein hd, the Koni fsd
is realy smooth riding on speed bumps. It makes them by far more confortable on
rough roads than the bilsteins hd. FSD is almost as firm as bilsteins in all other road
conditions. I can easily compare the bilstein hd to the Koni fsd because my brother
have bislstein hd on his 850-97 and i have fsd on my v70-98. The fsd is more
confortable than the original sachs-boge shocks, have a fabulous handling and is
really firm in low speed bumps, like the Bilstein installed on my brother 850. My 79
years old father really like the fsd smoother ride on his low millage s70 1999. Despite
is stock shocks (sachs-boge) was like new! I put them in the wastebasket !! Thanks
IPD for selling us two FSD kits in 2006!
