About KONI Special Active
Special Active uses KONI's patented FSD valve, which changes damping by itself as the road changes. It softens over bumps and rough surfaces, then firms up when the car leans in corners, so you don't have to trade comfort for handling. KONI says the same FSD technology has been fitted at the factory to over 10 million vehicles.
