Product Description

The KONI 8710-1337SPORT Front Sport Shock is a performance-oriented adjustable shock absorber engineered to improve front suspension control and handling on a range of Volkswagen and related models. Part of KONI's Sport series, the externally adjustable rebound damping lets you dial in suspension response for spirited driving, enhanced cornering precision, and a firmer feel compared to stock front shocks. This shock is finished in the classic KONI yellow and designed as a direct replacement for the front suspension of supported vehicles, including VW Beetle, Golf Mk4, and Jetta models, as well as Audi A3, Seat Leon, Seat Toledo, Skoda Octavia, and VW Bora applications.

Compatible with stock ride height and most performance lowering springs (up to around 35 mm), the 8710-1337SPORT offers a versatile upgrade for drivers seeking improved grip and handling dynamics without sacrificing everyday comfort. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace both front shocks together to maintain balanced performance and vehicle stability. Professional installation is advised to ensure proper fitment and optimal damping adjustment.
