KONI Special 8040-1019 Classic Red Front Shock Absorber for 1974–1983 Chevrolet Corvette

KONI Special 8040 series, red painted, internally rebound adjustable twin-tube low pressure gas charged shock absorber.

Upgrade the front suspension of your classic Chevrolet Corvette with the KONI Special 8040-1019 shock absorber. Designed for 1974–1983 Corvette models, this red-painted, twin-tube shock absorber combines internally adjustable rebound control with low-pressure gas-charged performance. It is engineered to help improve suspension response, vehicle control, and ride stability for street-driven and performance-oriented applications.

The KONI 8040 series allows rebound firmness to be adjusted internally, giving drivers and technicians the ability to tailor suspension behavior to the vehicle’s setup and driving preferences. Its twin-tube construction supports consistent operation, while the low-pressure gas charge helps reduce aeration and maintain dependable damping performance during normal and spirited driving.

This front shock absorber is intended for use on applicable Chevrolet Corvette models from 1974 through 1983. Verify the vehicle year and application before ordering, as fitment may vary by model configuration. The KONI Special 8040-1019 is supplied as one shock absorber and features the distinctive red finish associated with KONI Classic performance products.
