Product Description

The KONI 80-2149 Special Rear Shock is a rear suspension damper designed for classic Volkswagen vehicles including Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Squareback, Fastback, and Thing models from 1967 through 1980. This Special Series shock offers adjustable rebound damping so you can fine-tune ride quality and handling characteristics compared to worn original shocks. Its twin-tube hydraulic design delivers reliable performance and smoother response on vintage suspension systems.

Finished in KONI's traditional red with logo, the 80-2149 installs easily in the factory rear shock mounts without modification and is sold individually. Replacing shocks in pairs yields the best balanced feel across the rear axle. With broader applications across multiple early Volkswagen platforms, this adjustable rear shock is a solid choice for restoration projects or classic daily driving.
