I just finished writing a blog, www.rvnetblog.com about shocks. It appears that Koni has not flushed out the line of FSD and as of the time that I did the research, several weeks ago, FSD's were not yet available for the your coach.

We got ours at Precision Frame. Great customer service and we got them very quickly. Give them a call and see if they can advise you as to the shocks you need.

For some reason KONI seems to be slowing down on development of the FSD's. I was testing shocks for Reyco Granning on our 2002 DSDP with a new 14,600# front axle. Reyco Granning said the FSD's would be "ready soon", that was over a year ago and they're still not available. I'm still running the older adjustables on the front and FSD's on the rear. I bought the rears direct from KONI for $150 each and I know they're available for less elsewhere.

I have a HR Neptune (same as Cayman) and I didn't want to wait for the FSD's when I ordered about two years ago. I am running with 4 of the adjustable Koni's and love them. Made a big difference on this unit over the stock Monroe shocks. I even adjusted the fronts a little stiffer at the beginning of the season this year and they worked well.

I ordered from Koni's web site at the time and thougth they were reasonably priced.

The Koni website says the shocks for a Cayman are the same as an Alpine.

Koni shocks for a Monaco Cayman

These guys have them according to their site. Good luck!
