KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Front VOLKSWAGEN Type 1 - Beetle (Original) SuperBeetle Karmann Ghia 197

The KYB Excel-G front shocks are built to bring back the original handling and stability to your 1971-1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. These shocks are made on the same assembly lines and use the same quality components as the original equipment KYB supplies to Volkswagen. The goal here is to restore your Beetle's factory ride control, not to change it, making them a solid choice for bringing your classic back to its intended performance.

These are a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, which helps maintain consistent performance. KYB is a well-known supplier to new car manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is often called OEA, meaning Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. This classification means you're getting a part that's essentially the same as what came on your car from the factory, calibrated to match its original specifications. Many professional technicians prefer these shocks because they reliably restore a vehicle's original capabilities.
