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

The primary goal of KYB Excel-G shocks is to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. They are designed to bring the suspension back to its factory-new performance rather than changing it.

Why does KYB recommend installing new strut mounts?

KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, such as their part number SM5080, when replacing the front shocks. This helps to reduce the chance of noise and vibration, ensuring a quieter and smoother ride.

What type of construction do these shocks use?

These shocks feature a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design. This construction helps to prevent foaming and ensures consistent damping performance, which is important for reliable stopping and lane change responsiveness.

Product Details

When you're working on a classic like a BMW 2002, getting the suspension back to its original feel is key. These KYB Excel-G front shocks are built to do just that, restoring the ride control, stability, and handling your car had when it was new. They're made on the same assembly lines and with the same quality parts as the shocks KYB supplies to car manufacturers for their new vehicles.

The Excel-G design uses a twin-tube construction and is charged with nitrogen gas. This setup helps reduce foaming and keeps the shock working consistently, which means you get reliable performance for stopping and lane changes. The goal here isn't to change the way your 2002 handles, but to bring its original factory performance back to life, making it a popular choice for professional technicians who want to get the job done right.

When you're replacing your front shocks, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts at the same time, like their part number SM5080, to help prevent noise and vibration. This ensures you get the best possible result from your suspension work.
