Special ActiveはFSDの後継ではありますが、Koniに問い合わせたところ、「Special Activeのローダウンスプリングとの組み合わせは推奨しない。」に近い内容の回答がありました(別ブログ記事の通り)。
Special Activeは中身はFSDと全く同じと思い込んでいましたが、どうやら位置付けがちょっと違うようで、あくまで純正スプリングと組み合わせるためのショックという位置付けのようです。ただ、いろいろな車種のインプレや動画を読むと、Special ActiveをPro-Kitと組み合わせてうまく行っている例は多いようなので、車種次第とかなのかも知れません。少しモヤモヤしますが。
(原文)I personally have had cocktails with an engineer at KONI at SEMA and spoke with him at length about this. Fact is, the FSDs are *NOT* valved to run with a spring with a spring rate any more aggressive than that of an Eibach Pro-Kit Spring, hence the reason KONI offers a kit (the KONI FSD/Eibach Kit) that utilizes Pro-Kit, not Sportline, Springs. Will the Sportlines "work" with the FSDs? Sure, they'll "work" and your car won't explode or anything like that, but they're engineered (i.e. valved) to work with the spring rates and lowering levels of Eibach's more mildly rated spring (the Pro-Kit Springs) and when used with any other spring not approved by KONI, you might not get the same dampening characteristics and/or ride quality as you would otherwise.
