Product Description

The KONI 8741-1572SPORT Sport Front Shock is a premium adjustable performance strut designed for enthusiast-level road handling and control. Tailor-engineered for front suspension setups on Audi A3, Volkswagen Golf, GTI, Jetta, and Tiguan models, this shock absorber balances everyday drivability with enhanced response and stability at higher cornering loads. Its twin-tube gas-pressure design and externally adjustable rebound allow fine-tuning of damping characteristics without removing the unit, perfect for drivers seeking a more connected feel from their suspension.

Optimized for performance lowering springs, this strut can handle moderate drop applications while maintaining damper performance. Sold individually, it fits as a direct replacement for front left or right sides and complements upgraded spring packages and sway bars to achieve sharper turn-in and reduced body roll. Fitment is confirmed through 2024; 2025 coverage is currently unconfirmed. Verify vehicle suspension configuration and strut dimensions prior to installation.
