The MacPherson strut front suspension on first- and second-generation Commodores demands precise damping control to handle spirited driving and lowered stances. The KONI Classic 86-2076SP1 front strut cartridge drops directly into your factory Holden strut housings, upgrading tired, non-serviceable factory dampening with KONI’s motorsport-proven twin-tube hydraulic valving.
Finished in iconic KONI Classic gloss red, it provides period-correct aesthetics alongside modern performance tuning. Featuring off-vehicle adjustable rebound damping, you can precisely tailor the resistance to match stock coils, lowered sport springs, or heavier sway bar packages. Built with hardened chrome-plated piston shafts, heavy-duty guide bushings, and a fully serviceable internal architecture, this cartridge is completely rebuildable and re-valvable to suit your build for years to come.
Key Features:
MacPherson Strut Cartridge Design: Direct-fit replacement cartridge designed to insert straight into original VB–VP front strut housings.
Adjustable Rebound Damping: Off-car rebound adjustment gives you complete control to dial in turn-in sharpness and eliminate front-end float.
Reduces Braking Dive & Body Roll: Keeps the front tires planted under heavy braking and fast direction changes for sharper steering response.
Period-Correct Aesthetic: Finished in authentic KONI gloss red with classic wing badging for an immaculate under-bonnet and wheel arch presentation.
Fully Rebuildable Architecture: Serviceable design allows the cartridge to be rebuilt, refreshed, or custom re-valved for specialized street or track duty.
Heavy-Duty Durability: Machined to tight tolerances with hardened chrome piston rods for long seal life and consistent performance.
