What is the main difference between the STR.T shocks and OEM shocks?

The KONI STR.T shocks are designed as a direct replacement for your original equipment shocks. They feature a twin-tube, low-pressure gas design that helps maintain consistent damping performance for a noticeable improvement over worn-out stock units.

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

This product includes the rear shock absorber itself. It's recommended to inspect your existing mounting hardware, such as bushings and bolts, during installation and replace any worn components as needed.

Can I use these shocks on a BMW M3 or an AWD model 3 Series?

No, this specific KONI STR.T rear shock absorber is not designed for BMW M3 models or any all-wheel-drive (AWD) 3 Series variants. Please check fitment details to ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle.

Product Details

This is the KONI STR.T (Orange) rear shock absorber, part number 8050 1051. It's a non-adjustable, twin-tube shock absorber designed for a range of BMW 3 Series vehicles from 1999 through 2006, excluding AWD and M3 models. If you're looking to replace worn-out rear shocks on your 323i, 325Ci, or 330i, this shock absorber offers a solid option.

The STR.T series uses a low-pressure gas charge within a twin-tube design. This construction helps maintain consistent damping performance, even under regular driving conditions. Because it's non-adjustable, installation is straightforward – it's designed to fit right in place of your original equipment shocks. KONI is a well-known name in suspension, and these shocks are built to provide a noticeable improvement over stock when your original units are past their prime.

When replacing rear shocks, it's a good idea to check the condition of your rear springs and any associated mounting hardware. Ensure you have the necessary tools for shock removal and installation, as procedures can vary slightly between models.
