What is FSD technology?

FSD stands for Frequency Selective Damping. This technology allows the shock absorber to automatically adjust its damping characteristics based on road conditions. It softens the ride on smooth surfaces and firms up during harder driving or rougher roads, offering a balance of comfort and performance.

Does this shock absorber come with everything needed for installation?

Product Details

Koni is well-known for making suspension components that offer a noticeable improvement in how a car handles and feels on the road. This Special ACTIVE (RED) 8745 Series strut is a prime example, designed specifically for your Volkswagen Passat. It's a twin-tube, low-pressure gas strut that aims to give you a more comfortable ride without sacrificing control.

What makes this strut stand out is its FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) technology. This advanced system automatically adjusts to road conditions, softening the ride on smooth surfaces and firming up when it detects rougher pavement or during spirited driving. This means you get a more comfortable experience during your daily commute, but the car still feels planted and responsive when you need it most. It's a well-built component that aims to balance ride comfort and sporty handling for your Passat.

This strut is designed as a direct replacement for your front suspension. Make sure to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific details related to your vehicle's setup.
