Product Information
Full details
The Koni Sport Shock Absorber (8710-1395SPORT) is engineered for Renault Clio II owners looking to significantly improve road-holding and suspension control through adjustable performance damping. It is an ideal choice for driving enthusiasts who want to sharpen steering response and reduce body roll during cornering; however, users should note that performance-oriented tuning may result in a firmer ride quality compared to original equipment manufacturer shocks.

FAQs
Can I use these with my factory springs?
Yes, the Koni Sport series is designed to work effectively with both original factory springs and lowered aftermarket kits.
Is the damping adjustable while the shock is on the car?
Yes, the Koni Sport features an external adjustment mechanism for convenient fine-tuning without requiring disassembly.
Will these make the car lower?
The shock absorbers themselves do not determine ride height; ride height is controlled by the springs installed on the struts.
Do I need to replace my top mounts?
It is highly recommended to inspect and potentially replace worn top mounts during installation to ensure optimal performance and prevent clunking noises.
How do I know which direction to turn for firmer damping?
Generally, turning the adjustment knob toward the 'plus' sign or clockwise will increase the rebound damping force.
Troubleshooting
Vehicle feels too harsh on rough roads
Adjust the external damping knob toward the softer setting (typically counter-clockwise) to increase shock extension speed.
Excessive body roll during cornering
Increase the rebound damping by turning the external adjustment knob toward the firm setting.
Uneven damping between left and right sides
Verify that both shock absorbers are set to the exact same number of clicks or turns from the softest position.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent improvement in handling and cornering stability

- Tailored specifically for the Renault Clio II chassis
Cons

- May require additional alignment work when paired with lowering springs
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This shock absorber is a direct fit for the Renault Clio II. When installing, ensure the vehicle is lifted securely on jack stands and use appropriate spring compressors if replacing or installing new springs. Since the unit supports lowered springs, it is recommended to have a professional four-wheel alignment performed immediately after installation to protect tire wear. Periodically inspect the dust covers and shock seals for debris buildup; cleaning these areas helps prevent premature seal failure. If adjusting the rebound, always count your turns from full soft to ensure balanced damping settings across the axle.
