Features and Benefits

• User-Friendly Rebound Adjustment: KONI Sport struts feature a convenient adjustment knob that allows for easy tuning of rebound damping. This means you can fine-tune the ride quality and handling characteristics to match your specific driving style and road conditions.
• Superior Handling with Comfort: These struts are designed to significantly improve vehicle handling while maintaining a comfortable ride. Their adjustable nature allows you to achieve optimal performance without compromising daily driving comfort.
• Cost-Effective Performance: KONI Sport struts provide exceptional performance damping at an affordable price point. This makes them an ideal solution for those seeking a performance suspension upgrade without breaking the bank.

Adjustment Recommendation

We recommend starting with the default "softest" setting for the best balance of sport firmness and street handling. Most aggressive drivers who have upgraded their suspension (such as adding performance springs or stiffer bushings) tend to find the ideal setting between half and a full turn from the softest position. KONI Sport struts are widely regarded as the industry standard for user-adjustable damping, transforming your daily driver into a capable weekend warrior. The iconic yellow color of KONI Sport signifies enhanced motion control and adjustability, perfect for the passionate driving enthusiast.

Suspension Strut Assembly Overview

The suspension strut assembly plays a crucial role in your vehicle's handling and ride quality. It serves as a central pivot point for the front suspension, housing the coil spring while also dampening the spring's compression and rebound as the suspension moves up and down. If your vehicle's ride feels overly bouncy, or you notice clunks over bumps, it may be due to worn strut assemblies and shock absorbers. When replacing struts or shock absorbers, it is highly recommended to replace them in pairs to maintain balance and consistent performance.

Symptoms of Suspension Strut Assembly Failure

• Noise from the rear end over bumps
• Uneven or abnormal tire wear
• Vehicle wandering or instability while driving
• Poor steering response
• Degraded handling performance
• Harsh or uncomfortable ride quality

About KONI Sport Adjustable Struts

KONI Sports are the benchmark in adjustable damping technology, allowing drivers to customize the driving experience according to their needs. Whether it's dialing in a softer setup for comfort or stiffening things up for a track day, KONI Sport struts provide the flexibility required to turn a standard daily driver into a formidable performance vehicle.

Best Practices for Adjusting KONI Shocks

There is no one-size-fits-all adjustment setting for KONI shocks, as individual preferences for comfort, performance, and driving conditions vary. As a general recommendation, KONI shocks should be installed in the full-soft position initially, which provides an optimal balance of ride comfort and handling, especially for vehicles with original equipment (OE) suspension setups. If the car has performance modifications such as upgraded springs or wheels and tires, or if a more aggressive setup is desired, most drivers find the ideal setting to be between half a turn to a full turn from the softest position. Over the long lifespan of the damper, or for specific firm handling characteristics, the adjustment can be increased accordingly. It's worth noting that KONI dampers rarely need to be adjusted to the full firm setting.

Spring Compatibility and Adjustment Guidance

One of the standout advantages of KONI adjustable shocks is their compatibility with a wide range of springs. There is no specific spring required for optimal performance—KONI shocks can be adjusted to match the characteristics of your existing springs. Most performance springs feature a higher spring rate than factory springs, and KONI shocks are built to accommodate these increased rates through adjustable rebound damping. This ensures proper control and damping, preventing the shocks from being overwhelmed by stiffer springs. The KONI adjustment range offers up to a 100% increase in firmness from the softest to the firmest setting, making it suitable for both OE springs and high-rate performance springs.

Upgrade your suspension with KONI Sport Adjustable Struts and experience the ideal blend of comfort, performance, and precise adjustability, taking your driving experience to the next level.
