Product Description

The KONI 8050 1007 STR.T rear shock absorber is a direct replacement street-performance shock engineered for classic Volkswagen rear suspension applications. This STR.T (Street) Series shock uses a fixed, non-adjustable gas-charged twin-tube design tuned to deliver improved handling and ride quality over stock dampers without harsh performance trade-offs. Its orange-finished body not only adds visual appeal but also provides corrosion resistance.

Ideal for vehicles including Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, GTI, Corrado, and Cabrio models from the mid-1980s through early-2000s, this shock pairs well with both original suspension setups and mild lowering springs. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace both rear shocks together for balanced suspension performance. Always confirm your exact model year, drivetrain, and suspension configuration to ensure proper fitment before installation.
