Not so fast!
The white bits are there to deaden the sound. You will hear the clonking as the springs move about on the metal seat without the white bits. They also absorb some of the shock on bumps so that the metal seat is not stressed.

thanks leo

so i will install the original ones (made of black plastic and thinner) because the car is also sooo high.
i contact with the official koni department and they said that the white teflon installation is optional for cars with caravan.

in other way if you want to know, the car with the 4 koni sport is other ! more grip, more dynamic performance.......you should probe them ! next installation will be an impresive 17" wheels with 205 / 45 sp 9000.

with them i hope finish stage I ..... safe driving !!

best regars

Sounds good Kassus.
Unfortunately the roads in the UK have too many bumps and holes for very low profile tyres. The reduced side-wall height means that the wheel rims get dented. So 16 inch wheels would be the sensible limit for road use here.

Ciao for now, Leo
