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

The KYB Excel-G shock absorber is designed to restore your vehicle's original handling, stability, and ride control. It aims to bring your car back to its factory-designed performance rather than altering it.

Why is KYB considered a good choice for replacement shocks?

KYB is a leading supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers. The Excel-G line is produced on the same assembly lines with the same quality components as original equipment, earning it an OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

What can I do to protect my new shock absorber?

To protect your new shock absorber from dirt, debris, and salt, you can install a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB103. This accessory helps maintain the shock's performance and longevity.
