Upgrade your classic VW`s suspension with this EMPI Performance Oil Shock Absorber, designed to deliver the perfect balance between comfort and control. These shocks are engineered to provide a firmer ride than factory oil shocks while offering a smoother, more forgiving response than stiff gas shocks—ideal for drivers who want enhanced road handling without sacrificing comfort.
With an extended length of 455mm and a compressed length of 370mm, these shocks are a direct replacement for your worn original units, providing improved damping response for better cornering and ride quality on both street and light off-road use. Suitable for both stock and custom setups, including VW Beetles, Karmann Ghias, and various Buggy or Baja builds.
Built to EMPI’s quality standards, this oil shock absorber features durable construction with strong seals and consistent oil flow for long-lasting performance. Installation requires only basic tools, though it`s recommended to check your existing shock lengths before fitting for compatibility in custom applications.
