Product Description

The KONI 8240 1236SPORT is a high-performance rear shock absorber from KONI's Sport (Yellow) series designed to elevate handling and road feel on select BMW vehicles. Built with a twin-tube gas charged design and internally adjustable rebound damping, this shock allows enthusiasts to fine-tune suspension control to suit their driving style. The yellow powder-coated finish resists corrosion and supports long-lasting performance.

This shock fits the rear suspension of RWD BMW 1-Series (2008-2013) and 3-Series (2006-2012/13) models, making it a direct replacement for stock dampers while improving cornering response and overall chassis control. Sold individually, it's ideal for phased upgrades or replacing a worn shock on either side. When paired with performance lowering springs (up to approximately 35 mm), the KONI Sport shock delivers sharper handling without sacrificing ride quality for daily use.
