Koni Special Classic 80 Series Red Front Shock Absorber for 1966-1979 VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia & Thing - 80 1787
This product will be available for sale in 2 weeks, but you can pre-order now to receive 10% discount!
Fits select 1966-1979 Volkswagen Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Thing, Fastback, and Squareback models.
The Koni Special Classic 80 Series shock absorber is engineered to restore and refine the handling characteristics of vintage Volkswagen platforms. This front shock features a twin-tube hydraulic design, providing a controlled and comfortable ride that avoids the harshness often found in high-pressure gas shocks. Built for enthusiasts who maintain or restore classic vehicles, it features an internally rebound adjustable mechanism that allows you to tune the damping to your specific driving preference or to compensate for suspension wear over time.
Finished in signature Koni Red, this damper replaces worn factory units to provide a more precise feel through corners and improved stability. It is a direct-fit component designed for vehicles using the standard front suspension configuration.
- Series: Special Classic (80 Series)
- Position: Front
- Internal Design: Twin-tube (non-gas)
- Adjustability: Internally rebound adjustable
- Finish: Koni Red
- Manufacturer Part Number: 80 1787
