Although a large percentage of KONI products are for the replacement market, an increasing percentage of shock absorbers are purchased by specialist car manufacturers as original equipment all over the world.

Quality control is of vital importance, especially when supplying to the major manufacturers. KONI is certified to the highest standard available in the automotive industry, like QS9000, ISO9001 and ISO14001.

As KONI aim for the best performance, not necessarily the most economic solution, they can be found on cars in the top end of the automotive segment, supplying cars such as the Lamborghini Diablo, Dodge Viper, etc. Generally those manufacturers place emphasis on the handling of the car. In many of those cases KONI is directly involved in the final ride and handling tests in order to come up with a tailor made damper for that specific OE application.
