Upgrade your VW`s handling and stability with the KYB Gas-Adjust shock absorber, a high-performance, gas-pressurized unit designed to reduce body roll, improve road contact, and enhance ride control. Ideal for classic Volkswagens with worn suspension or for owners looking for firmer handling, these shocks are well-suited for road, performance, and off-road applications.
Despite the name, the KYB Gas-Adjust is not adjustable—instead, it delivers a preset, heavy-duty damping rate made possible by its monotube gas-charged design. This provides more responsive handling, reduced bounce, and less body movement under load or cornering. These are especially effective for vehicles with worn torsion bars, custom wheels, or added weight.
Each shock is built to a high standard and offers a long service life, with a consistent performance upgrade over standard oil-filled shocks.
Measurements:
Compressed Length: 335mm
Extended Length: 455mm
Features:
Gas-pressurized for consistent damping and control
Monotube design improves road handling and steering feedback
Ideal for reducing body roll and suspension float
Bolt-on upgrade for classic VW suspension systems
