Koni 8245 1322 Special Active Rear Shock Absorber Red Plug-In Hybrid Twin-Tube Gas

The Koni 8245 1322 Special Active (Red) is a premium rear shock absorber engineered for plug-in hybrid applications (excluding wagon body styles). Part of Koni's 8245 Series, this twin-tube low-pressure gas shock delivers an exceptional balance of performance and ride comfort through Koni's patented Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology.

Unlike conventional shock absorbers, the Special Active automatically senses road conditions and driving style, then adjusts damping in real time — controlling large body motions and cornering forces while smoothing out expansion joints and rough road surfaces. The result is a ride that rivals expensive electronically controlled damping systems, at a fraction of the cost, with no wiring or electronic integration required.
