ABS or hard plastic is idealy suited lips, grilles, valences and spoilers. ABS is a rare and expensive material. PP and ABS are injected or pressed making the bumpers consistent in shape.
PU or Polyurathane is slightly softer than PP but very durable and flexibel. PU is typically poured and is slightly heavier, that being said it is super durable and typically good fit.
FRP or GFK are fancy names for fiberglass. It's a good material for spoilers since its rigid and holds its shape over time. The problem with GFK/FRP bumpers is their production technique. Parts are made by hand and molds degrade over time, this makes it impossible to guarantee consistent parts.BMW 1 Series Damper Guide
KONI SPORT DAMPERS
"The tech guys at Koni told me that the yellows are designed to work best with the stock springs, and I tend to agree based on my experience with three different set-ups on the car."ajshanny on 1Addicts.com
Koni’s yellow Sport shock absorber was designed for the sporty driving experience. Its characteristics include responsive steering and reduced body-roll. These externally adjustable units focus on exceptional road-holding combined with an acceptable level of comfort.
The Yellow Koni Sport shock absorbers are also available as part of Koni's Coil-Over Suspension Kits which feature threaded adjustable lower spring perches (where applicable) and progressive rate lowering springs designed for performance street driving.
KONI FSD DAMPERS
"I have the Koni FSDs with the Eibach springs and I'm not pleased. I'm very happy with the shocks, I think it's the springs that are causing the problem. The Eibach-Koni FSD combo massilvly disappoints over bumps and large dips. It's so unsettling over large dips at high speeds that my head almost hits the roof. With that exception, it's a pretty smooth ride and not harsh at all."350zpilot on 1Addicts.com
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, the perfect example that performance and comfort can be enjoyed together, was the first production vehicle fitted with Koni FSD technology. Computerized systems can deliver both comfort and performance, but at a high price. Koni Frequency Selective Damping is a two-in-one solution that doesn't require sophisticated electronics, cables or sensors but still offers the best of comfort and performance.
Koni's patented FSD technology actively controls the damping level on the basis of the vehicle's body and suspension movement frequency. FSD guarantees greater stability, greater control and thus greater driving pleasure. Koni FSD is recommended if you want an increase in performance with minimal trade off in the comfort department.
