What is the main purpose of the KYB Excel-G rear gas shock?

The primary goal of the KYB Excel-G rear gas shock is to restore your Honda Civic's original ride control, stability, and handling. It's designed to bring the vehicle back to its factory-designed performance rather than changing it.

What does 'nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design' mean for my car?

This design helps prevent the shock's fluid from foaming under pressure and heat, which can lead to inconsistent damping. The nitrogen gas helps maintain consistent performance, offering reliable control and stability for your vehicle.

Does this shock come with a protective boot?

No, this shock does not include a protective boot. However, KYB offers a compatible Strut Boot, part number SB103, which can be purchased separately to protect the shock from dirt, debris, and salt.

Product Details

The KYB Excel-G rear gas shock is built to bring your 2016-2025 Honda Civic back to its original factory ride control and handling capabilities. These shocks are made on the same assembly lines and use the same quality components as the original equipment KYB supplies to Honda, meaning they're calibrated to restore, not change, your vehicle's designed performance. If your Civic's ride feels less stable or responsive than it used to, replacing the rear shocks is a solid step toward bringing that feeling back.

KYB uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design in the Excel-G series. This construction helps maintain consistent damping performance, even under demanding conditions, by reducing the chance of fluid aeration. This means you get reliable control and stability for everyday driving, including better handling during lane changes and improved stopping responsiveness. It's a well-built component designed to match your Civic's original specifications, making it a popular choice for technicians looking to restore factory ride quality.

To help protect your new shocks from dirt, road salt, and debris, consider pairing them with a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB103. This helps extend the life of your suspension components.
