How do I adjust the Koni Special D shock absorber?

The Koni Special D shocks are internally adjustable. You can adjust the rebound damping by rotating a knob located at the bottom of the shock absorber. This adjustment is typically done with the shock absorber installed on the vehicle.

What is the benefit of internal rebound adjustment?

Internal rebound adjustment allows you to customize the firmness of your ride. You can set it firmer for improved handling on winding roads or softer for a more comfortable driving experience on straightaways or rougher surfaces.

Product Details

This Koni Special D (Red) shock absorber features an internally adjustable twin-tube, non-gas design, giving you control over your ride quality. It's built for the rear of a range of classic Volkswagen models, including the Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Transporter, from the 1950s through the 1970s. The internal adjustment means you can fine-tune the rebound damping without needing to remove the shock, allowing you to adapt the feel of your suspension to different driving conditions or preferences.

The twin-tube construction is a well-known design that helps keep the shock cool and consistent, even during spirited driving. Because these shocks are internally adjustable, you can set them to a firmer setting for better handling on twisty roads or a softer setting for a more comfortable cruise. This adjustability is a notable feature that helps you get the most out of your classic VW's suspension.

When installing these shocks on your classic Beetle or Karmann Ghia, you'll find they fit right into the factory mounting points. This makes the installation process straightforward, especially since they don't require any special tools beyond what you'd typically use for suspension work. It's a solid option for anyone looking to improve the handling and ride comfort of their vintage Volkswagen.
