KONI 8745-1053 Front Damper Leg for BMW E39 5 Series

Transform the way your E39 steers, rides and grips. The KONI 8745-1053 is a premium front suspension damper for the BMW 5 Series E39 platform that delivers tighter body control, sharper turn in and a more composed ride on British roads. With user-adjustable damping, you can fine tune the rebound to suit commuting, fast road driving and long motorway journeys, all while enjoying KONI’s renowned durability and consistency from its gas charged twin tube construction and high quality internal valving. Finished in classic red, this uprated front strut brings confidence back to an ageing chassis and is an ideal performance-focused replacement for a tired OE unit.

We run these on customer builds and the feedback is exactly what enthusiasts want to hear. Crisper steering feel, reduced float, improved stability over bumps and far better control at speed without spoiling comfort. If you are hunting for a BMW E39 front damper leg, uprated shocker, rebound adjustable strut, sport suspension cartridge or a direct fit replacement front suspension unit for daily use and spirited B road driving, this is the one to choose.
