Gas-charged replacement strut insert designed specifically for EMPI's adjustable lowered strut housings (EMPI #00-9627-0) on late Super Beetles. Standard-length factory inserts will not fit these lowered housings — this shortened insert is required for proper fitment. Gas charging prevents fluid foaming during spirited driving or rough roads, maintaining consistent damping. Sold individually — two required per vehicle.
