Product Details

The Koni 86-1980 is part of the iconic KONI Special Classic 86 Series, a line of premium strut inserts engineered for classic and vintage vehicles that demand reliable, tunable suspension performance. Finished in KONI's signature red paint, this insert brings modern damping technology to older suspension systems.

Key Features:

  • Internally Adjustable: Damping force can be adjusted internally, allowing fine-tuning of ride comfort and handling characteristics without removing the strut from the vehicle
  • Twin-Tube Construction: Utilizes a twin-tube design for consistent, fade-resistant damping performance under a wide range of driving conditions
  • Non-Gas (Hydraulic) Design: Traditional hydraulic (non-gas charged) operation, ideal for maintaining the OEM-style ride feel on classic vehicles
  • Strut Insert Style: Designed to replace the original damper cartridge within the existing strut housing, preserving the factory strut shell
  • Red Painted Finish: KONI's distinctive red exterior coating for easy identification and corrosion resistance
  • KONI Special Classic Series: Purpose-built for vintage and classic car applications where original equipment-style internals are required

The Koni 86-1980 strut insert is an excellent choice for restorers and enthusiasts looking to restore or improve the ride and handling of classic vehicles while retaining the original strut housing. As a direct cartridge replacement, installation integrates seamlessly into compatible OEM strut assemblies.

I have dealt with them twice so far and they have been great both times. Price can't be beat and you can get someone on the phone nearly every time you call. Shipping is reasonable and fairly quick. I will definitely shop here again.

Best price I could find on the internet and easy to check out. Love the option of Google Checkout. Thanks!
