Porsche Koni Standard Shock Absorbers
At Design911, we supply Koni Standard shock absorbers for a wide range of Porsche models, giving you a high-quality replacement option when your original dampers are past their best. Koni’s standard-range shocks are designed as OE-style replacements, delivering dependable damping and a controlled, confidence-inspiring feel for everyday road use.
These Koni Standard shock absorbers sit within our wider Porsche suspension and axle range, alongside rear shock absorber components, performance-focused Koni Sport options and other suspension upgrades. This means you can source matching mounts, bushes and hardware in one place when refreshing your Porsche’s suspension.
Why do Koni Standard shock absorbers matter?
Shock absorbers are central to how your Porsche feels on the road. They work with the springs to control body movement, keep the tyres in contact with the surface and filter out bumps and vibrations. As they age, internal wear and fluid degradation reduce their ability to control motion, which can leave the car feeling loose, bouncy or unsettled. Replacing tired dampers with Koni Standard units helps restore a reassuring, composed feel while maintaining an everyday road-biased balance of comfort and control.
- Keep your Porsche riding with a stable, well-controlled feel
- Help maintain consistent tyre contact for predictable behaviour
- Reduce excess bouncing and improve overall refinement
- Support long-term enjoyment and preserve a well-maintained impression
Individual replacement parts
Individual Koni Standard dampers allow you to replace only what is required, front or rear, while staying close to original ride characteristics.
- Ideal when one end of the car shows more wear
- Lets you renew specific corners while keeping the overall setup familiar
- Helps manage costs on routine maintenance work
Matched sets or pairs
Front and rear pairs, or full sets, are a popular choice to ensure damping is even across the axle or entire car.
- Consistent behaviour side-to-side on each axle
- Helps avoid uneven wear and mixed responses between old and new parts
- A sensible option when updating an ageing suspension as a whole
Complete suspension refresh kits
In some applications Koni dampers are combined with mounts, bushes or other components to simplify a full refresh.
- Groups commonly replaced parts into one package
- Saves time compared with sourcing each item separately
- Useful when refurbishing or sympathetically upgrading an older Porsche
Brands available in this category
For this area of suspension we offer Koni Standard dampers alongside other suspension components and kits for Porsche models, including package deals assembled under our kits offering. You can filter by brand on the category page to focus on Koni or compare with alternative options where available.
When should you review or replace your Koni Standard shock absorbers?
Even quality dampers like Koni Standard units will wear over time, especially on Porsches that see regular use or poorer road surfaces. Checking them periodically helps you catch deterioration before it affects your confidence in the car or leads to accelerated tyre wear.
- You notice bouncing, floaty behaviour or poor control after bumps
- There are signs of oil leaks or damp, oily residue on the shock body
- The car feels unstable under braking or over undulating roads
- Tyre wear becomes uneven or the ride feels harsher and noisier
If any of these apply, it is a good time to assess your existing dampers and consider replacing them with fresh Koni Standard shock absorbers matched to your Porsche model and intended road use.
