Product Description

The KONI 8745-1329 Special Active Rear Shock is a performance-oriented replacement shock absorber engineered for the Porsche Boxster 986 (1996-2004 Base, Roadster, Roadster S, and S Special Edition). Featuring KONI's advanced Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology, this rear shock adapts damping characteristics based on driving dynamics and road surface conditions, delivering a balanced combination of ride comfort and enhanced handling without the need for external electronics.

Designed as a direct fit replacement for the original rear suspension shock absorbers on compatible Boxster 986 models, the 8745-1329 improves grip, stability, and body control during cornering and heavy braking while smoothing out uneven surfaces for a more refined driving experience. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace both left and right rear shocks simultaneously for consistent performance across the axle. Ensure original springs and mounting hardware are in good condition for proper installation.
