Bilsteins or KONIs....you cant go wrong with either of them.
I am not sure on the new FSD models. They sound like they can be nice for rough roads, and still handle really good. the only thing I dont like about it is that they do self adjust. I think I would have more controll on a track with regular Bilstein HDs or KONIs.

My son is going to use HR springs to lower his 97 S70 T5M. I just put Billstean Touring in my T5R and like the handling and the ride. I have no desire to lower though. Heard Koni adjustables are great, but was not willing to spend the money.
