Product Description

The **KONI 8641-1142SPORT Sport Rear Shock** is an adjustable performance shock absorber designed specifically for the rear suspension of the **1986-1989 Toyota MR2 (AW11)**. Part of KONI's Sport Series, this yellow-finished rear shock delivers improved handling, better rear road holding, and customizable rebound damping to suit your driving style. The externally accessible rebound knob lets you fine-tune suspension response without removing the shock from the vehicle, giving a tailored balance of comfort and performance for spirited street driving or performance setups.

Installation is straightforward as a direct rear strut insert that reuses the original rear strut housing with an M48x1.5 locknut - a common configuration on MR2 AW11 rear suspension. It works well with stock springs or paired with compatible performance lowering springs (up to approximately 35 mm), helping refine stance and dynamic control. Sold individually, this shock allows phased suspension upgrades or targeted replacements for worn components, making it ideal for enthusiasts looking to improve handling and ride quality on classic MR2 models.
