Do these shocks come with new mounting hardware?

This Koni STR.T rear shock is sold individually and is designed as a direct replacement for your factory shock. It typically does not include new mounting hardware; you will likely need to reuse your original bolts and nuts or source new ones separately.

Will these shocks lower my car?

The Koni STR.T (Orange) shocks are designed to work with your vehicle's original factory springs. They are intended to improve damping performance and handling, not to change the vehicle's ride height.

What is the difference between the STR.T and other Koni shocks?

The STR.T (Special Tuning) line is Koni's entry-level performance shock absorber. They offer a noticeable improvement over stock damping for a more responsive feel, while Koni's higher-end lines often feature adjustable damping for more fine-tuned performance.

Product Details

If you're looking to get a more responsive feel from your 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf or GTI, especially if you're dealing with the independent rear suspension, a new rear shock like this Koni STR.T (Orange) can make a notable difference. These shocks are designed to work with the factory springs, offering an improved damping experience without needing a full coilover setup.

Koni has been in the suspension game for a long time, and the STR.T line is their entry-level performance shock. They're built to provide a firmer ride than stock, which helps reduce body roll when you're cornering or making quick lane changes. You'll feel more connected to the road, and the damping is tuned to handle everyday driving while still offering a bit more control when you push it. They're a well-built option if you want a noticeable upgrade without going too extreme.

This specific shock is for the rear of vehicles equipped with an independent rear suspension. It's a direct replacement for the factory unit, meaning it should fit right without any major modifications. If you're replacing worn-out shocks or just want a more engaging driving experience, this Koni shock is a solid option to consider for your Golf or GTI.
