Currently looking to swap our OE rear dampers for Koni Active ones ,
When I came to remove the OE ones I found the bolts had heads I’ve not come across before 🥴
Can anyone tell me what they are called so I can get a socket /spanner to suit ?
Found a pic online but no name of bolt type
Thanks in advance

I have a set of spanners for those Torx bolts, do a Google search for star ring spanners.
They are sometimes called double ring spanners.

Have seen a 19mm double hex socket used successfully to open these bolts but I would be wary of chewing them up if it slipped - they are likely to be proper tight to open and need to be torqued to spec when refitted. Best to get the proper E-star sockets as linked by Andy.
