Product Details

Built with a twin-tube, low-pressure gas design, this Koni STR.T shock absorber is a solid option for your 2008-2013 Volvo C30. It’s non-adjustable, meaning you get a straightforward, reliable performance upgrade without needing to fiddle with settings. This shock is designed to replace your original unit, helping to restore that factory feel or even offer a slight improvement in how your car handles bumps and corners.

The orange finish isn't just for looks; it's a signature of Koni's STR.T line, which focuses on providing a noticeable improvement over stock suspension components. These shocks are a popular choice when you're looking to refresh your suspension without going for a full coilover setup. They work well with your existing suspension components to offer a more controlled ride, reducing body roll during turns and smoothing out road imperfections.

If you're looking to replace worn-out rear shocks on your C30, this Koni unit is a well-built part that fits right. It's a direct replacement, so installation should be manageable for most DIYers or a quick job for your mechanic.
