What does Koni's Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) do?

FSD technology allows the shock absorber to automatically adjust its damping force. It provides a softer ride on smooth roads and firms up when it detects rougher surfaces or during cornering, balancing comfort and control.

Does this shock absorber come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This product includes one Koni Special Active rear shock absorber. It is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment, but it's recommended to inspect and potentially replace other wear items like mounting hardware or bushings during installation.
