I am running Bilstein's on my 2007 Beaver Contessa, R8RR chassis. They are 40,000 miles old and we are experiencing ever increasing porpoising on the front end. Not out of control but, well you know what I mean. Anyway, I want to replace the front shocks only with Koni's. I spoke with an installer in Mesa AZ and he said to absolutely not do that because they were different styles. Said the shocks would work against each other (Bilstein in the rear and Koni up front) and the ride would worsen. So, I called the factory. Tech guy said at the distance between the axles he did not think it would be any problem.
Looking for a little real world advice here. Looking to improve the front end ride, not possibly make it worse. Any thoughts/advice are grealy appreciated
