The Koni Sport product line is one of our specialities. Koni serves Sporting Drivers with a carefully designed range of sport shock absorbers. This product focuses on exceptional road holding and handling, combined with a reasonable level of driving comfort. They can also be used with spring kits to lower a vehicle up to 35mm.
Many of the Koni Sport dampers are externally adjustable by means of an adjustment knob at the top of the damper. This means you do not have to remove the damper from the vehicle to adjust the rebound forces. This enables you to fine tune the handling & ride to suit your driving style.
Dampers without the top adjustable feature can still be adjusted, although they will need to be removed from the vehicle to achieve this. You may wish to use lowered springs with the Koni Sport range, if you do this please be aware the maximum lowering permitted is 35mm. Please also ensure that any bump stops are re-fitted to ensure no damage occurs to the valving should the damper bottom out.
Features
• Big handling improvements
• Reasonable ride quality
• External rebound adjustment on most cars
• Best KONI shock for all lowering springs
• Re-buildable and re-valveable for custom vehicle setups
• Yellow exterior finish
• Lifetime Warranty
All Koni Shocks are sold 'per shock' a complete set requires four shocks
Put these on my typeR with H&R sport springs and it handles amazing! ride quality is fine if you set them to soft or nice and aggressive if turned all the way up. Highly recommend
Special thanks to Tuner Sports for shipping these to me from the East Coast to the West Coast in 5 days, just in time to get a car delivered to a customer. These Koni shocks equipped with the Ground Control coilover conversion kit is the first on my list that I recommend to my customers. I always tell them "when you take the best manufacturer of shocks such as Koni, and combine them with the best springs in the industry like Eibach (the springs Ground Control supplies with their coilovers), you will have the best handling, ride quality, and reliability. This setup is way better than buying a "full coilover" from those other brands that do not focus strictly on shocks. Not one of my customers that I installed these for has ever had a complaint. I also install these shocks on my own personal vehicles.
The struts are shorter than OEM, making installation difficult.
I've ordered these shocks from tuner sports about 4 months ago, and already drove around 16k miles on them, driving to and from Colorado to Cali often. At first I found the ride was firm, almost too firm for long road trips, but after around 1000 miles with the h&r sport springs things eventually settled. At that point I've noticed very similar ride characteristics to how my golf Gti felt from the factory, except handling was much improved. It feels more balanced and less likely to understeer if pushed hard. Traction also seemed to improve too. Many people recommended Koni sport shocks with h&r sport springs for my needs, and even though I felt a little unsure about the combination at first, I must say I'm extremely pleased and will not hesitate to recommend it to others too.
I purchased these almost a year ago with GC coilovers. The ride is amazing especially if you want the moderate lowered height or even when slammed. Rides just like new with over 10k on them.
