Okay, so a little about me and my driving habits. My car is my daily driver for a 50 mile, round trip commute. I bought it specifically as a DD, that is a blast to drive. I love this car. I came from a MKV GTI with K-sport coils and a MKIV GLI with Tein springs on some shocks that I couldn't identify. They were stiff and sometimes painful to drive.
That being said, my FiST may never see a track. MAYBE an autocross course. But for now I just wanted a comfortable, fun DD. And that's what I've now got. The Koni's are soft. When I hit a bump or pothole, its softer. It doesn't sound like my dash is going to jump out of the car. So the commute this morning was very comfortable. Last night, I took a backroad home and opened up a little bit. The car still has that feel, ya know what I mean? It's still tossable, its still on rails, and it definitely brings a smile to my face. There may be a tiny bit more under steer that I barely noticed, but I also don't push my car to the limits on public roads.
I hope I did a well enough job explaining my thoughts. I think I'm one of the first with the Koni STR.T's on a FiST. So far, I am extremely happy with my purchase. I kind of wish I had gone with Eibach instead of H&R springs, as it is a lot lower than I expected, but I'm going to drive and enjoy and see what happens later.
