"KONY" FOR VAZ 2110
TEXT / SERGEY VOSKRESENSKIY
The shock absorbers of the Dutch company Koni are famous not only for their sporty character, but also for their noticeable effect on the stability and handling of the car. These very "thoroughbred" products are by no means cheap. Vista, the main supplier of the Dutch to Russia, set out to reduce the cost of the shock absorbers offered for the VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112 as cheaply as possible (previously only the most expensive version of the Sport was sold in Russia). We were the first to get acquainted with the “signal” option of shock absorbers.
Compared with the Sport version (see ЗР, 1999, No. 11), the behavior of the Top Ten has changed somewhat: it has become a bit more comfortable. This is especially felt in the back seat. But the front shock absorbers retained their traditional stiffness. Therefore, the driver and passenger nearby are visibly shaken, each time recalling the sporting character of Dutch products.
