Product Details

If you're working on a 1985-1992 Volkswagen Golf, the KYB Excel-G front shocks are designed to bring back your car's original ride control and stability. These aren't meant to change how your car handles, but rather to return it to the way it felt when it first rolled off the assembly line. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these Excel-G shocks are built on the same production lines using the same quality parts as the original equipment.

The Excel-G line is classified as OEA, meaning Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. They use a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, which is a common and reliable setup for restoring factory performance. This means you can expect a solid return to your vehicle's designed handling, stopping, and lane-change responsiveness. They are a popular choice among professional mechanics for their ability to accurately restore a vehicle's original capabilities.

When installing new struts, it's a good idea to protect them from dirt and road debris. You can add a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB109, to help keep your new shocks clean and extend their life.
