What is the main purpose of the KYB Excel-G strut?

The KYB Excel-G strut is designed to restore your vehicle's original handling, stability, and stopping capabilities. It aims to bring the car back to its factory-designed performance rather than altering it.

What is the benefit of the nitrogen gas charge in this strut?

The nitrogen gas charge helps prevent foaming within the strut. This ensures more consistent damping performance, especially during demanding driving conditions or over rough roads.

Does this strut come with everything needed for installation?

This product is for the front strut only. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, like part number SM5867, at the same time to help reduce noise and vibration and ensure proper installation.

Product Details

When you're looking to get your 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf or 2015-2017 Audi A3 back to how it felt when it rolled off the lot, the KYB Excel-G front strut is a solid choice. This part is designed to bring back your vehicle's original handling, stability, and stopping capability, not to change it. It's built on the same assembly lines and uses the same quality components as the struts KYB supplies to car manufacturers for their new vehicles.

The Excel-G uses a twin-tube design and is charged with nitrogen gas. This helps reduce the chance of foaming and ensures consistent performance. Because it's calibrated to match your car's original specifications, it's a popular choice for professional technicians who want to restore factory ride control and responsiveness without altering the feel of the vehicle.

For the best results and to help prevent noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts at the same time. You can find the recommended strut mount, part number SM5867, on our site.
