    This is the best overall suspension you can install on the S197. I wish it was a little softer but my 20 inch rims don’t help either. Performance wise it’s perfect. Zero wheel hop!!! Incredible cornering and stability even in wet conditions. Minimal brake dive as expected. Only Magnetic dampers can top this setup.

    This is the best suspension available for a S197 Mustang. The Koni Special Active are extremely comfortable compared to other Koni setups. It’s auto-adjustment technology is incredible as there’s still great cornering and minimal brake dive.

    I drive this car as a daily driver and I live in the mountains, so I take advantage of my ability to corner every chance that I get. This system is transformative on this car! My S197 now corners like a European Sports Car. I highly recommend this setup if you want your Mustang to handle!
