Product Information
Full details
The Koni Sport Shock Absorber (8710-1377SPORT) is designed for performance-minded drivers who want to bridge the gap between daily comfort and track-ready precision. Its standout feature is the adjustable rebound damping, which allows users to tailor the suspension response to their specific driving style and road conditions. While it significantly enhances vehicle stability during cornering and braking, it requires periodic manual adjustment to ensure the damping settings remain optimal for the user's specific vehicle setup.

FAQs
Can I use these with stock springs?
Yes, the Koni Sport shock is fully compatible with factory-standard springs.
What is the maximum lowering spring height supported?
This model is compatible with lowering springs up to 40 mm.
Do I need to take the shock off the car to adjust it?
No, the Koni Sport shock features an external adjustment mechanism designed for on-car tuning.
Is this a set of four?
This part number refers to an individual damper unit; it is highly recommended to replace shocks in pairs (front or rear) for balanced handling.
Does this shock improve braking performance?
Yes, by better controlling body movement, it reduces nose-dive during heavy braking, keeping the car more level and stable.
How often should I adjust the damping?
Adjustment is subjective. You may adjust it whenever your driving environment changes, such as moving from daily commuting to performance track use.
Troubleshooting
Adjustment knob is difficult to turn
Clear any road grime or debris from the adjustment port and ensure the shaft is fully extended if required by your specific model.
Vehicle feels excessively harsh after adjustment
The damping is likely set too high. Rotate the adjustment mechanism toward the softer setting (counter-clockwise) in small increments.
Suspension noise or clicking sounds
Check that all mounting hardware is torqued to manufacturer specifications and inspect the top mount bushings for wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit is a direct replacement for compatible vehicles and can accommodate lowered springs up to 40 mm. Installation should be performed by a professional or an experienced enthusiast using proper spring compressors for safe assembly. After installation, ensure the external adjustment knob is seated correctly. Regularly inspect the shock body for oil leaks, which could indicate a failed seal. Keep the adjustment mechanism clean of road debris to ensure the dial remains easy to rotate. If you are using lowered springs, verify that the total travel does not result in bottoming out the shock.
