Default Koni Str.t Strut ?

I'm looking for some affordable, better then OEM shocks and found these on Tire rack.

http://www.tirerack....95&autoModClar=

I've done a search on here and volvospeed.com, and tons of reading about suspension setups and not found anything Volvo specific.

Does anyone know anything about these or have any real world tests/opinions?

Thanks

This forum has a section specific to suspensions. You might want to try it if you haven't yet.

Suspension - Volvo Forums - Volvo Enthusiasts Forum

This is a different forum and they too have a section devoted to suspensions only .....

Volvo Forum : Volvo Forums -> Suspension, Wheels and Tires

Under affordable most posts I've seen seem to lean toward the bilstein touring for a smoother ride or the bilstein HDs for better handling but they are considered a bit harsh.

ive looked all over, plenty of chat of the ones you mention, koni yellows, fsd etc but nothing on these koni str.t shocks. Theyre orange if that means anything to anyone.

Didn't look hard enough:

Koni Str.t Shocks


They're brand new to the Volvo market, hence why there aren't any reviews for them.
