Product Description

The KONI 8741-1488SPORT Sport front shock absorber is a premium replacement performance damper engineered for a range of Volkswagen and Skoda vehicles. Built around KONI's gas-charged, twin-tube technology, this Sport series shock delivers enhanced road holding, sharper steering response, and greater control compared with stock units - ideal for drivers seeking a more dynamic driving experience on both street and track.

With an externally adjustable rebound damping knob, you can tailor suspension characteristics to your driving style or road conditions without removing the shock. Designed to pair well with sport or lowered springs (typically up to ~35 mm), these Sport shocks maintain ride quality while offering significantly improved handling. Sold individually for the front (left or right), the KONI Sport shock mounts directly to factory locations and includes KONI's long-standing warranty support.
