KONI STR.T Lowering Kit with H&R Springs
The KONI STR.T Lowering Kit combines KONI STR.T dampers with application-matched H&R lowering springs. It is designed for drivers who want a lower stance and more controlled body movement from a coordinated suspension package, rather than selecting springs and shocks independently. Available lowering can reach up to 40 mm, with the actual drop determined by the vehicle-specific kit.
What the matched components do
The springs establish the suspension's supported height and spring characteristics, while the dampers control how the suspension moves. Pairing H&R springs with KONI STR.T shocks brings those roles together in a kit intended to work as a combination. That is the practical attraction for a street-car upgrade: the selection is organized around compatible spring and damping behavior rather than appearance alone. A lower spring is not simply a cosmetic accessory, because changing ride height also changes the suspension's operating position and available travel.
Handling goals beyond a lower stance
The STR.T kit targets pitch and roll control. Pitch is the fore-and-aft body movement you notice during braking or acceleration; roll is the side-to-side movement associated with cornering. Better-controlled motion can make the car feel more settled and responsive to steering inputs. The objective is not to remove all body movement or make every road surface feel smooth. A lowering package changes the balance of ride and handling, and the result still depends on the vehicle, tires, road, and condition of the rest of the suspension.
Understand the up-to-40-mm figure
“Up to 40 mm” describes the range's lowering capability, not a guaranteed drop for every car or every axle. Use the individual kit's stated front and rear lowering figures when deciding whether the stance suits your vehicle. Those application figures are more useful than expecting every STR.T package to produce the maximum drop. Consider the car's normal roads and access points as part of that choice: a lower suspension changes practical clearance at driveways, ramps, and uneven approaches. Do not assume this fixed lowering-kit concept offers the height-adjustment range of a coilover system.
Select the kit around your vehicle and use
Match the complete kit to the vehicle's year, model, and listed suspension qualifications. Then compare the intended drop with your goals for daily driving and handling. The KONI and H&R motorsport background helps explain the performance focus, but the useful purchase details are the actual application, included dampers and springs, and stated lowering. Have installation and alignment requirements reviewed for the vehicle after the change. If you want adjustable ride height or a different tuning approach, compare an appropriate coilover or adjustable-damper application instead of assuming those features are included in STR.T.

Frequently asked questions
Does the STR.T kit contain both springs and dampers?
Yes. The package described combines KONI STR.T shock absorbers with H&R lowering springs.
Will it lower every vehicle exactly 40 mm?
No. The range offers lowering up to 40 mm; use the figures for the specific vehicle kit.
Is this the same as a height-adjustable coilover?
No. A matched lowering-spring and damper kit should not be treated as an adjustable-height coilover package.
