Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where Koni is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, side/position, and connector type where relevant.

• Typical reasons to choose Koni for Porsche suspension include restoring control as original dampers age, reducing excessive bounce and body roll, and improving steering response while keeping a road-friendly balance.
• Common real-world symptoms that lead owners to inspect dampers and related parts include leaking units, knocking over bumps, excessive bounce, vague turn-in, increased instability under braking, and uneven tyre wear.
• Ride or noise complaints are often linked to supporting parts such as top mounts, bushes, and alignment settings, so it is sensible to inspect the wider suspension rather than replacing dampers alone.
• After fitting, having a proper wheel alignment carried out helps the car feel consistent and can reduce tyre wear, especially if ride height or other suspension components have been changed.
• Where Koni offers adjustable products, always confirm whether the specific part is adjustable and follow the supplied instructions for any settings or changes.
• Keeping damping and spring setups balanced front-to-rear and side-to-side helps your Porsche feel predictable and stable over a variety of road surfaces.

If you already know the area you are working on, start with the category and then filter by Porsche model. Where real-world symptoms and typical reasons to replace are provided, use them to keep the wording grounded.

Suspension & Axle — Suspension and axle components are typically replaced to restore handling, ride comfort, braking stability, and safety on your Porsche. Where Koni dampers and related parts are listed, they can help address age-related wear, knocking, wandering, vibration, and uneven tyre wear, as well as support either an original-feel setup or a slightly more controlled road-biased configuration.

• Check for guidance on replacing items in pairs and the importance of an alignment after suspension work so that your Porsche feels consistent and predictable.
• Begin with diagnosis of play and wear in joints, bushes, and dampers, as multiple parts can share similar symptoms.

Shock Absorbers FRONT — Front shock absorbers are central to how your Porsche steers, brakes, and copes with bumps. Koni front dampers, where listed, are intended to restore or enhance ride control by managing body movement, reducing nose dive, and maintaining tyre contact, especially on cars where original units have begun to leak, bounce, or feel vague.

• Look out for signs such as excessive bouncing, nose dive under braking, poor body control, knocking, and uneven tyre wear, and consider replacing front shocks in pairs for balanced behaviour.
• It is often recommended to assess or replace front top mounts and then have the alignment checked once new dampers are installed.

Koni standard — Koni standard dampers are aimed at Porsche owners wanting dependable, well-controlled damping that suits everyday road use while remaining compatible with standard-style suspension setups. They are often chosen when refreshing ageing suspension to regain a composed, confidence-inspiring feel without moving far from the original character.

• Typical reasons to review or replace these dampers include bouncing, loss of control, fluid leaks, and tyre wear, along with a general impression that the car feels loose or unsettled.
• Keeping the setup consistent across each axle and following any guidance on adjustment, where applicable, supports a stable, predictable result.

Shock Absorbers REAR — Rear shock absorber components and complete dampers help keep the back of your Porsche stable under acceleration, braking, and cornering. Koni rear solutions, where available, contribute to rear-end composure, helping manage bounce, squat, and stability over bumps as part of a wider suspension system.

• Common reasons to inspect the rear include rear-end bouncing, instability, leaks, knocking noises, and uneven rear tyre wear, all of which can indicate that damping or supporting hardware is past its best.
• Rear dampers and associated parts are usually replaced in pairs, and it is wise to check rear top mounts and bushes as multiple wear points can create similar knocks and noises.
