What oil does Koni use in their shocks? Does anyone know what oil is used in Koni shocks. I was really surprised at how poor they make the car feel, totaly jiggly and quite harsh, on stock springs. This was around 32F. Then it warmed up and the shocks softened off a lot and became quite a bit more supple. I was just wondering if I could find viscosity over temperature for the oil in them.

Most shock oil has a problem with being overheated (shocks can really heat up the oil while doing their job) so that's the main priority. However, I have Koni DA's and I can't say I've ever noticed the difference (and I drive mine all year, even in 0 degree weather) between warm and cold, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention or my car is too stiff to notice.

They are still very new, maybe they haven't broken in yet. It has been quitre noticeable so far on my car, the temperature is going up and down still.
