Product Description

The KONI 80-1350 Rear Shock is a classic vintage shock absorber designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for the rear suspension of multiple classic Volkswagen models, including the Beetle, Bus/Transporter Type II, Karmann Ghia, Squareback, Fastback, and Thing (swing-axle platforms) from the early 1960s through the late 1970s. Built to modern damping standards with KONI's adjustable rebound valve, this shock delivers firmer, more controlled handling and improved ride comfort compared to original factory units.

Featuring a traditional twin-tube, non-gas design and finished in KONI's signature red or black with the wing logo, the 80-1350 is ideal for classic VW restorations and performance upgrades alike. Sold individually, it allows staged suspension component replacement and tuning for ride quality and handling preference. Whether you're restoring a vintage Beetle or improving the rear suspension performance on an early Type II bus, the KONI 80-1350 offers dependable damping with lifetime limited warranty coverage.
