Product Information

Full details

The Koni Sport Rear Shock Absorber is designed for driving enthusiasts who prioritize handling precision and suspension control in their Audi, Seat, Skoda, or Volkswagen vehicles. It provides a significant boost in road-holding capability and cornering stability, making it an excellent choice for those with lowered springs. However, it is important to note that the rebound damping requires the unit to be removed from the vehicle for adjustment, which may necessitate more hands-on maintenance compared to electronically adjustable systems.

FAQs

Can I use these shocks with factory springs?

Yes, they are compatible with standard springs, though they shine best when paired with performance lowering springs.

Do I need an alignment after installing these?

Yes, any major suspension modification requires a professional four-wheel alignment to ensure safety and tire longevity.

How much can I lower my car with these shocks?

These shocks support drops of approximately 35-40 mm while maintaining proper damper stroke.

Are these sold as a pair?

This product number refers to an individual shock absorber. It is highly recommended to replace shocks in pairs (left and right) for consistent handling.

Do these shocks come with springs included?

No, this product is the shock absorber only and does not include lowering springs or mounting hardware.

Troubleshooting

Vehicle feels too stiff or harsh over bumps

Adjust the rebound damping to a softer setting by rotating the piston in the opposite direction.

Excessive body roll despite installation

Check that the rebound damping is set to a firmer level and verify that your springs are correctly seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved vehicle body control during high-speed maneuvers
  • High level of adjustability to suit different spring setups
  • Excellent balance between performance handling and road comfort
  • Durable construction suitable for daily driving and track use

Cons

  • Rebound adjustment requires removing the shock from the car
  • Professional installation recommended for proper alignment
  • Performance-focused damping may be firmer than factory standard shocks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician, especially given the precision required for suspension components. Ensure your vehicle's specific trim and year match the compatibility list for the 80-2859SPORT.

Adjustment Instructions: To adjust the rebound, the shock must be fully compressed while removed from the vehicle. Rotate the damper piston to engage the adjustment mechanism. Always ensure both left and right sides are set to the same level of damping to maintain predictable handling.

Care: Regularly inspect the shock body for oil leaks and ensure the dust boots are intact. Keep the adjustment mechanism free of heavy debris during installation to ensure long-term functionality.
