Koni Special Active Damper Kit - Tiguan Mk2

£624.00

The next generation of premium shock absorbers that offer superior handling without compromise. It is the latest advancement in the KONI product portfolio. Utilizing the most recent generation of KONIs patented Frequency Selective Damping technology, it controls large body motions and cornering forces but smooths expansion joints and rough roads for improved comfort.


Two characteristics that seemed diametrically- opposed, proved to be a source of inspiration for specialists from KONI. Following lengthy development and testing, the ultimate solution was reached: KONI FSD - Frequency Selective Damping.

A revolutionary technique whereby the benefits of both types of ride characteristics are combined in one perfect shock absorber. Banishing the disadvantages of the past. Special-Active shock absorbers; a smart suspension system adjusting automatically to road conditions as well as driving style. And all of this in a fraction of a second. Special-Active guarantees greater stability, greater control and thus greater driving pleasure.

No need for sensors, cables, or other electronic devices
Damper cost efficient
Ultimate road holding and handling
Improved grip and safety level
Great stability
Optimum comfort level

  • Koni Active dampers – excellent ride quality when installed correctly
    5

    Posted by Ben on 23rd Jan 2026

    I fitted Koni Active dampers to my VW Tiguan R-Line, retaining the OEM springs, and once installed correctly they’ve been excellent.
    Ride quality is noticeably improved over stock — the car feels more composed over poor road surfaces, less floaty at speed, and still comfortable day-to-day. Body control is better without making the car feel harsh, which is exactly what you want from a fast-road setup rather than something overly stiff.
    I did experience knocking issues initially, but this was traced to installation errors (top mount fitted incorrectly and a loose drop link), not the dampers themselves. Once those were corrected, the suspension has been quiet, stable, and confidence-inspiring.
    Overall, the Koni Active system does exactly what it claims: adaptive comfort with improved control. I’d happily recommend them — with the strong caveat that correct installation and attention to top mounts and hardware is essential to get the best out of them.
    Pros:
    Excellent balance of comfort and control
    Noticeable improvement over OEM dampers
    Works very well with standard springs
    Cons:
    Installation-sensitive — needs to be done properly
    Verdict:
    A very strong upgrade when fitted correctly. Would buy again.
