Product Description

The KONI 8650-1016 STR.T Front Shock is an orange-finished, non-adjustable strut insert designed for the front suspension of the BMW 3-Series E30 (1984-1991) with rear-wheel drive and 6-cylinder engines. As part of KONI's STR.T (Street) series, it offers an accessible performance upgrade over worn factory shocks - delivering improved road feel, enhanced handling, and reduced body roll while maintaining a comfortable ride.

This direct-fit shock replaces the original strut insert and is engineered to match the vehicle's front suspension geometry. It pairs well with both stock ride height and mild lowering springs, making it ideal for enthusiasts refreshing an aging suspension or modestly lowering their E30. Sold individually, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct mounting and alignment.
