KONI Classic Front Strut Insert (pair) – Holden Commodore VR to VZ (Part # 86-2535)

Upgrading the front suspension on VR through VZ Commodores is essential to curing front-end wallow, especially when running lowered springs, heavier sway bars, or upgraded wheel and tyre packages. The KONI Classic 86-2535 front strut insert slots directly into original Holden strut housings, replacing standard, non-serviceable dampers with KONI’s motorsport-honed twin-tube hydraulic valving.

Finished in signature KONI Classic gloss red, it brings proven damping control while maintaining a clean, professional under-bonnet finish. Equipped with off-vehicle adjustable rebound damping, you can precisely dial in front-end stiffness to match standard or lowered suspension setups. Built with induction-hardened, chrome-plated piston rods, precision-ground cast iron pistons, and a fully serviceable architecture, it is completely rebuildable and re-valvable for the life of your vehicle.

Key Features:

• MacPherson Strut Insert Design: Engineered to insert directly into factory original VR–VZ front strut housings for an OEM-style retrofit.

• Adjustable Rebound Damping: Off-car rebound adjustment gives you full authority to calibrate damping rates for standard, lowered, or sport spring configurations.

• Reduces Nose Dive & Body Roll: Dramatically improves front-end bite and stability under hard braking and fast directional transitions.

• Period-Correct Styling: Finished in iconic KONI Classic gloss red with authentic wing badging.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Features induction-hardened chrome piston rods, seamless tubing, and precision internal valving for exceptional durability.

• Fully Rebuildable Architecture: Serviceable design means cartridges can be rebuilt, refreshed, or custom re-valved down the track.
