What is Koni's Special Active (FSD) technology?

Koni's Special Active (FSD) technology uses internal valving that automatically adjusts damping rates based on the frequency of suspension movement. This allows the shock to soften impacts on rough roads while firming up during cornering for improved handling and control.

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

This product is sold individually as a front shock absorber. It is designed to be a direct replacement for the original strut, but it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or a professional mechanic to confirm if any additional hardware is required for your specific vehicle.

Is this shock absorber adjustable?

No, this Koni Special Active shock absorber is not manually adjustable. Its damping characteristics are managed internally by the FSD technology, which adapts automatically to driving conditions.

Product Details

The Koni Special Active shock absorber uses a twin-tube hydraulic design with low-pressure gas to manage damping forces. This McPherson strut is specifically tuned for the 2008-2014 BMW X6, offering an improved driving experience without being adjustable. Its internal valving automatically adjusts to road conditions, providing a balance between sporty handling and everyday comfort.

This shock absorber is built with a focus on responsive performance. The twin-tube construction helps dissipate heat effectively, maintaining consistent damping even during spirited driving. While it's not a manually adjustable unit, the FSD (Frequency Selective Damping) technology within this Koni shock is its standout feature. It intelligently alters damping rates based on the frequency of the suspension's movement, softening impacts on rough roads while firming up during cornering for better control.

For owners of the 2008-2014 BMW X6 looking to refresh their suspension with a part that offers a noticeable improvement in ride quality and handling, this Koni Special Active shock is a solid option. It's designed as a direct replacement for the original strut, making installation straightforward for a mechanic.
