Product Description

The KONI 1200 1001 is a complete GTS Coilover Kit engineered for Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R (Mk7/Mk8) and Audi A3, S3, and RS3 (8V/8Y) models built on the MQB and MQBe platforms. It combines KONI's externally rebound-adjustable Sport dampers with matched linear lowering springs, threaded bodies, and ride height-adjustable perches - delivering 1 to 4 inches of lowering range and a wide range of damper valving from a single kit. The top mounts are included, making this a genuine bolt-on solution ready for installation.

Designed for both daily street use and weekend track days, the GTS kit gives the driver independent control over both ride height and damping stiffness without needing separate components. Vehicles with factory Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) electronic adaptive damping will need an iSweep EC Canceler Kit purchased separately to eliminate warning lights. Wheel alignment is required after any installation or height adjustment. Professional installation is strongly recommended.
