The Engineers of the KONI Ride & Development Center have developed KONI SPORT shock absorbers for the Porsche 911 (996). This is what they had to say about the car and the improvements to the car with KONI SPORT.
KONI’s Ride and Handling Department started test-driving and gradually developed the car with the KONI Sport test-shocks to a level were the handling reached a new top level combined with improved comfort featuring less roll and pitching. The overall balance and grip improvement was also clearly measurable by looking at the point were PSM intervenes when cornering on the limit in any gear.
Clearly the KONI Sport equipped car has more grip and balance as there is a significant gap in speed between the point where the rear of the OE equipped car lost grip and PSM took control, and the point when this occurred with the KONI Sport equipped car. Equipping a Porsche 911 996 with KONI Sport Shocks transforms the car into a sharp, agile, fun supercar, which is still perfectly usable as your every day car . As a bonus both the front and rear KONI Sport shocks are externally adjustable so they can be easily tuned on the car to optimize other vehicle upgrades, personal preferences, or taking your 911 for a fun day on the track.
