Product Description

The KONI 8741-1440LSPOR Sport Front Left Shock is a high-performance front suspension upgrade made for 2002-2008 Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S models built after March 2002. Part of KONI's Sport series, this externally adjustable, gas-charged shock allows drivers to fine-tune rebound damping using the external knob - giving enhanced handling and chassis control without sacrificing ride comfort. Its twin-tube design and Sport valving deliver sharper response and reduced body roll compared to worn or stock units.

Designed as a direct-fit front left strut replacement, the 8741-1440LSPOR works effectively with stock ride height and performance lowering springs up to approximately 35 mm, allowing enthusiasts to tailor suspension performance to their needs. Sold individually, it's recommended to install matching shocks on both front sides for balanced handling. Backed by KONI's limited lifetime warranty, this Sport shock is ideal for Mini owners seeking an upgrade for spirited street driving and improved road feedback.
