yer when i hit potholes it feels like i've hit a kerb lol, but there koni adjustables and there set a little hard.
Any shocks really will make it harsh over stuff like potholes, it's just what you are used to?

Koni adjustables are expensive  I've got a receipt for £425 I think for a set I bought two years ago, and you can get them for approximately £350 now brand new.

new shocks, or just ride on standard shocks with lowering springs, it will bounce but not as much.
