Product Details

This is a Koni Classic (Black) front shock absorber, specifically designed for your 1956-1964 Porsche Carrera and other 356 models. If you're looking to restore the original ride and handling characteristics of your classic Porsche, these shocks are a solid option. They are built to match the original specifications, helping to bring back that factory feel to your suspension.

Koni has painted these shocks black to maintain a period-correct appearance under your classic Porsche. Internally, they are twin-tube, low-pressure gas-charged units with adjustable rebound. This adjustability allows you to fine-tune the damping to your preference, offering a more controlled ride than worn-out original shocks. The well-built construction means they're made to last and perform reliably for years to come.

These shocks are a direct fit for several Porsche 356 variants, including the 356A, 356B, 356C, and 356SC. When replacing your front shocks, it's always a good idea to inspect your other suspension components to ensure everything is in good working order.
