Ok with all the rave reviews you have all suckered me into purchasing some of the Koni FSD shocks!! Lol With us not being 100% happy with the ride on our 2007 Monaco Cayman 36PDQ with the RR4R chassis even after ride height adjustment and after reading reviews we have decided to break down and purchase a set of the Koni FSD’s..........was either that or purchase a new unit with an 8 or 10 bag chassis (The shock upgrade seems cheap now). Like others with the RR4R chassis we have had issues with a rough ride causing shower door to pop off, and on the kitchen cupboards you can see where the caulking is cracking between it and the wall, all of which I can only contribute to the rough ride!!
Now the problem I had when ordering was the fact that all of the fit guides were pretty vague, so after a couple of emails directly to Koni as well as Shox.com I ordered...........
8805-1021 for the front
8805-1022 for the rear
Our motorhome is at the dealership for some odds and ends (Including the shower door and caulking issues mentioned above) so I ordered up the shocks from Shox.com and they had them to me in Canada in 3 days!! I am dropping the shocks off later today and will have the dealer put on for us and hopefully everything will be done over the next several days and I will post back an update!! I am trying not to get my hopes up too much as I don’t want to be disappointed but I sure hope these help!!

You have a 2007 model coach....
I'm going to be real surprised if you notice much difference at all with the new Koni's

Yes an 07 with factory Bilstien shocks. Others have commented on how rough their ride was from the facotry Bilsteins were so I am hoping for the best.

Tony2, I sure hope you won't be disappointed with the ride after the Koni's are installed. I know we sure weren't disappointed after installing them on our gas coach.
Best of luck, Jim

Yes from the sounds of things it will make a differnce so I am hoping for the best trying not to let me expectations get unrealistic!!
I will keep you all posted as I know others with the 4 bag Roadmaster chassis have inquired............I may as well be the guinee pig!
