Product Description

The KONI 8041-1101SPORT Rear Sport Shock is a performance-tuned shock absorber engineered to enhance handling precision, road feel, and overall control on classic Volkswagen platforms. Part of KONI's Sport (Yellow) series, this rear shock features externally adjustable damping that allows drivers to fine-tune rebound response to match individual driving preferences and road conditions. Its twin-tube, low-pressure gas design provides responsive rebound control and improved stability compared with standard OEM shocks, making it an excellent choice for spirited street driving or track days.

This shock fits the rear suspension of select 1975-1983 Volkswagen Rabbit models (including GTI), 1979-1993 Golf I hatchbacks and cabriolets, early 1980-1984 Jetta I sedans, and 1975-1992 Scirocco I/II coupes. It is compatible with both OEM springs and moderate lowering setups (up to ~35 mm) without requiring modifications. Sold individually, two shocks are required for a complete rear axle replacement. Professional installation and a post-alignment are recommended to maximize handling and performance. Fitment confirmed through classic model years up to 1993; later years beyond this range are unconfirmed at time of listing.
