KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front KIA Sportage 1995-98

If you're working on a 1995-1998 Kia Sportage and need to bring back that original feel from behind the wheel, these KYB Excel-G front shocks are a solid option. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts as the original equipment. The main goal here is to restore your Sportage's original ride control, stability, and handling, not to change it. They're calibrated to get your vehicle back to how it performed when it was new.

These are a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, which is a common and reliable setup. KYB calls this classification OEA, meaning Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. This tells you they're built to meet the same standards as the parts that came on the car from the factory. Many professional technicians prefer KYB because they know they'll fit right and perform as expected, bringing back that factory-fresh ride and control.

When you're installing new struts, it's a good idea to protect them from dirt and road debris. You can grab a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB108, to help keep them clean and extend their life.
