DESCRIPTION
NEW from Koni!
Fits all 1st Generation Mini Coopers: 2002-2006 Hatchback and 2005-2008 Convertible, both supercharged and non-supercharged.
The next generation of premium shock absorbers that offer superior handling without compromise. It is the latest advancement in the KONI product portfolio. Utilizing the most recent generation of KONI s patented Frequency Selective Damping technology, it controls large body motions and cornering forces but smooths expansion joints and rough roads for improved comfort.
Koni has offered this type of shock for other platforms under the "FSD" (Frequency Selective Damping) name for a while, so some of you may have already heard of these in other circles. Koni also provides this technology to several of the big OEM manufacturers to get that performance handling that also retains a luxury ride that modern day buyers expect. Proven on over 1.5 million factory equipped vehicles, this technology rivals expensive Original Equipment electronic systems. BUT they have never been available for the Miata... until now! Now labeled as Special Active to better articulate what these offer, this technology has been brought to the Miata chassis for the first time ever.
In other circles like the Mini Cooper world, these became THE shocks to put on your Mini to get an unrivaled blend of sporty handling while being able to soak up harsh hits in the road.
Koni recommends these shocks only be used with stock springs. Not to be used with lowering springs.
The new Koni Special Actives are a great new choice for customers looking for something a lot better than other stock replacements, and they will ride better and handle better than the KONI STR-T. However, once we get into lowering and increased spring rates then KONI SPORT is the way to go.
