Product Description

The KONI 8240 1279SPORT is a front sport shock absorber engineered for Audi vehicles seeking a noticeable improvement in handling and steering precision over stock dampers. Its adjustable rebound damping lets drivers fine-tune the response to match driving style and road conditions without removing the unit from the vehicle. Designed with a twin-tube gas-charged construction and a distinctive yellow finish, this shock offers robust performance and street-friendly comfort.

Ideal for drivers with sport suspensions or mild lowering springs (up to ~35 mm), the 8240 1279SPORT maintains good everyday ride quality while reducing body roll and enhancing cornering stability. Sold individually, it's a direct fit for a range of Audi models including A4, A5, A6, S4, and S5 (FWD & Quattro/AWD) within the specified years. Installation is straightforward with no vehicle modifications required, and pairing with a matched shock for the opposite side is recommended for balanced performance.
