Product Information
Full details
The Koni Sport Shock Absorber (8010-1048SPORT) is designed for Renault Clio II owners who demand enhanced handling and precise vehicle control during spirited driving. By offering adjustable rebound damping, it allows users to tailor their suspension response to match their driving style, effectively managing body roll and brake dive; however, users should note that firming up the settings for maximum performance will naturally reduce ride comfort over rough road surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use these with stock springs?
Yes, these shock absorbers are compatible with both standard OE springs and aftermarket lowering kits.
How do I adjust the damping?
The shocks feature an external adjustment mechanism that allows you to change the rebound setting while the unit is installed on many vehicles.
Will these make my car uncomfortable?
When set to the softest position, they remain comfortable for daily use, but they will be firmer than stock shocks as you increase the damping force.
Is this a direct replacement for my Renault Clio II?
Yes, the 8010-1048SPORT is specifically engineered for the Renault Clio II chassis.
Do I need to align my car after installation?
Yes, it is highly recommended to have a professional wheel alignment performed after installing any suspension components to ensure handling and tire wear remain optimal.
Troubleshooting
Suspension feels too harsh after adjustment
Reduce the rebound damping stiffness by turning the adjustment mechanism toward the softer setting.
Noticeable oil leakage around the shock shaft
The unit may have a failing seal; inspect the area to confirm it is not just road grime, and replace the shock if leakage is confirmed.
Clunking noise heard over bumps
Verify that all mounting nuts and bolts are tightened to specification and check that the top mounts are not worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician, as it involves the removal of the vehicle's original suspension components. Always ensure the mounting hardware is torqued to the manufacturer's specified values. To adjust the dampers, follow the included instructions regarding the turning direction and position. For maintenance, periodically inspect the shock shaft for oil leaks and ensure the protective dust boots remain intact to keep debris away from the shaft seals. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the shock body, as these may damage the finish; a simple rinse with water and a soft cloth is sufficient.
