About this part

Product Details

The shortened chrome-plated piston rod on these ST Sport Shocks is a key detail, especially if you're running a lowered vehicle. This design ensures that the lowering spring stays properly pre-loaded even during hard driving, which is crucial for consistent handling and preventing the spring from unseating. These aren't just any shocks; they're built with heat-resistant twin-tube dampers that have fixed damping characteristics, meaning they're tuned for a sportier feel right out of the box.

ST Suspensions manufactures these shocks with a low-friction, pressure-resistant housing that includes a high-quality mono block guide and seal package. This setup is designed for maximum longevity and reliable performance in all kinds of weather conditions. They're intended as an OEM replacement, but the tuning and construction are aimed at transforming how your car feels and handles, making them a great match for either ST lowering springs or factory springs if you're just looking to refresh tired dampers.

This kit is specifically tuned for street performance and is a solid choice for anyone looking to improve their vehicle's driving dynamics. The fixed damping characteristics and the robust construction mean you get a greater driving experience that's built to last.
