On a typical travel down the road, the shock absorber, or known also as the damper will compress and decompress millions of times. If we break miles and change it into seconds of travel, the number of times the shock absorber moves defines the operating frequency (Hertz, Hz). When the car is making it to a corner, few strokes are induced on the shock absorbers. On the other hand, when cars chatter over broken pavements, higher quantity stokes are induced on the shock absorbers. With this information at hand, shock absorber frequency or damper frequency can be used in order to modify vehicle handling and ride quality.

According to studies, the vehicle body roll control needed to assist in handling occurs at a frequency of about 1 Hz. On the other hand, ride impact harshness can be felt when damper frequency reaches around 10 Hz. Koni has come up with a new line of Koni shocks that is a product of Koni’s studies in damping frequencies in sport cars.

The Koni Sport shock absorbers are developed for sporting drivers. It focuses on properties that promote exceptional road holding and handling. It has also succeeded with its aim at merging exceptional road holding with an acceptable level of comfort in driving. One can browse on more Koni shocks at the Bilstein shocks website.

KONI sport shock absorbers are available as part of Koni’s Threaded Suspension Kits. The said kit features threaded adjustable lower spring perches and progressive rate lowering springs, which are designed to better aid in giving its users a good performance drive.
