Product Description

The KONI 8750 1009 STR.T front shock absorber is engineered as a direct OEM-replacement strut that delivers a noticeable improvement in handling and road control for classic Volkswagen platforms including Corrado, Golf III, and Jetta III models from the early to late 1990s. Designed with a non-adjustable fixed damping rate, this shock is tuned to offer firmer control over body roll compared to stock units while maintaining daily drivability and comfort. The bright orange STR.T finish not only adds a performance look under the hood but also resists corrosion for long-lasting service.

Sold individually, this front shock pairs well with stock or performance lowering springs, making it a versatile choice for enthusiasts looking to refresh worn suspension components or enhance cornering stability. Installation uses existing mounting points and hardware, and a limited lifetime warranty backs the product's manufacturing quality. For some VR6-equipped models around 1993-1995, installing this strut may result in a modest 19 mm drop in front ride height, so alignments should be checked after installation.
