Product Details

These KONI Special front shocks fit the 1975-1980 Volkswagen Beetle. KONI Specials are the non-adjustable yellow shock for the 1975-1980 Volkswagen Beetle, delivering a noticeably tighter, more responsive ride than worn factory dampers. Built around KONI's legendary twin-tube architecture and intended for stock or factory-lowered ride heights, Specials are the right choice when you want KONI quality without the rebound adjuster.

Each shock features a hardened chrome rod, multi-lip seal pack, and KONI's rebuildable design: these shocks are made to last the life of the car. Backed by KONI's lifetime workmanship warranty.

Features

  • Fixed-valve performance damping: firmer than OE
  • Twin-tube hydraulic design with hardened chrome rod
  • Compatible with stock springs or mild lowering springs
  • Rebuildable / revalvable construction
  • Made in the Netherlands by KONI
  • Backed by KONI's lifetime workmanship warranty
