KONI Shock absorbers

Rating 5.0
  • Body bounce:
  • Bottoming:

I've been running them on my MK6 for about 40K miles. I'll never go back to standard shocks and struts. The adaptive dampening is a huge benefit on freeway drives since the expansion joints are completely removed from the ride. They are solid and planted for everyday driving and I've never felt the car was unstable.

Pros: adaptive dampening benefit
Cons: had to replace struts
Mileage: 64000 km

KONI Shock absorbers

I'm running Koni special actives on stock springs with 17" tires. There are a few threads over at https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php where it's pretty much agreed that they are OEM+. I put them in about a year ago and they are still great.

Pros: still great, OEM+
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I've had them for about 1,000 miles or so. Do they "work miracles?" No, but they are a marked improvement over the OEM Sachs. They are quite firm when cornering and braking, but compliant over rough roads at normal speeds.

Pros: marked improvement over OEM
Cons: quite firm
Mileage: 1000 km

I've used those on several other cars and they're a solid "fine". They work, and they're not bad. Just don't expect them to be amazing.

Pros: work well, not bad
Cons: not amazing
