How does the automatic damping adjustment work?

The KONI Special Active shock uses a hydraulic system that senses changes in road conditions and vehicle movement. It automatically adjusts the damping force to provide a firmer response during aggressive driving or rough roads, and a softer response for comfortable cruising.

Is this shock absorber sold individually or as a pair?

This product listing is for a single rear shock absorber. For a complete rear suspension upgrade, you will need to purchase two units.

What is the main benefit of upgrading to these shocks?

The primary benefit is an improved driving experience, with better handling, reduced body roll, and a more responsive feel from the rear of your vehicle, all while maintaining a comfortable ride on normal roads.
