KONI Classic Rear Shock Absorber (pair) – Holden Commodore & Statesman IRS (Part # 80-2738)

Early and second-generation Holden Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) setups are known for aggressive camber change, squat under power, and floaty rebound over undulations when running tired factory dampers. The KONI Classic 80-2738 rear shock absorber is engineered to bring modern control and stability to Holden’s semi-trailing arm and multi-link IRS platforms, keeping the rear tyres flat and planted.

Finished in traditional KONI Classic gloss red with authentic wing badging, this damper blends period-correct underbody styling with proven hydraulic valving. Featuring off-vehicle adjustable rebound damping, you can precisely dial in rebound resistance to match your driving preference and spring rates. Built with heavy-duty chrome-plated piston shafts, premium seals, and a fully serviceable architecture, it is completely rebuildable and re-valvable for the life of your vehicle.

Key Features:

• Engineered for Holden IRS: Valved specifically to control the distinct geometry and weight transfer of Holden Independent Rear Suspension assemblies.

• Adjustable Rebound Damping: Off-car rebound adjustability allows you to fine-tune stiffness to eliminate squat, pitch, and rear wallow.

• Period-Correct Aesthetic: Finished in signature KONI gloss red with classic wing badging for a clean, professional undercarriage finish.

• Enhanced Traction & Tyre Wear: Stabilizes the rear trailing arms under acceleration and hard cornering to maximize contact patch consistency.

• Heavy-Duty & Rebuildable: Built with hardened chrome-plated rods and serviceable internals that can be rebuilt or re-valved down the track.

• Direct Bolt-On Fitment: Matches factory upper and lower rear shock mounting dimensions for a hassle-free, direct replacement.
