ACTIVE- VW Golf/Jetta IV & Beetle FWD

Transform your Volkswagen’s ride with the KONI 8045-1083 Special ACTIVE rear shock — engineered for MK4-platform precision and comfort.

Designed for the 1998–2011 Volkswagen New Beetle and select Mk4 Golf and Jetta models (A4/PQ34 chassis), this damper features KONI’s Special ACTIVE technology, which uses Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) to deliver a smooth, composed ride when cruising — and increased control when cornering hard.

No electronics. No switches. Just intelligent damping that adapts automatically to road conditions. It’s the perfect balance of comfort and performance — ideal for OEM or lowering springs.
