How do I adjust the rebound on these Koni shocks?

The KONI Sport 8610 Series shocks feature external rebound adjustment. You can typically turn a knob located at the top of the strut to change how quickly it extends after compression, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension's response.

Do these strut inserts come with new hardware?

This product listing is for the strut insert itself. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or contact KONI directly to confirm if any specific hardware is included or if you should reuse your original hardware.

What is the difference between a strut insert and a complete strut assembly?

A strut insert is the internal damping component that fits inside your vehicle's original strut housing. A complete strut assembly typically includes the housing, spring, and all necessary mounting hardware as a single unit.

Product Details

This is a KONI Sport (Yellow) 8610 Series strut insert designed for the front of your 2011-2014 Subaru Impreza, including WRX models but excluding STI. It's an externally adjustable, non-gas charged unit that replaces your factory strut insert to give you more control over your suspension's feel.

The key feature here is the external rebound adjustment. This means you can fine-tune how quickly the strut extends after being compressed, allowing you to dial in the ride characteristics for spirited driving or track use. The twin-tube design is well-built and known for its durability, offering a noticeable improvement in handling and body control compared to stock components. While it's a non-gas charged unit, the damping forces are still substantial and effective for performance applications.

When installing these, remember they are inserts, meaning they go inside your existing strut housing. You'll want to ensure the housing is clean before installation. This part is a solid option if you're looking to get more out of your Impreza's suspension without going to a full coilover setup.
