KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear 12-14 Honda CR-V

If you're working on a 2012-2016 Honda CR-V and need to bring back that factory-fresh ride control, this KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber is what you're looking for. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these shocks are built on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts as the original equipment. The main goal here is to restore your CR-V's original handling, stability, and responsiveness, not to change it. This means you get back the way your vehicle drove when it was new.

The Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock. This design helps maintain consistent performance and prevents foaming, which can happen with standard shocks under heavy use. It's built with the same attention to detail as the shocks KYB supplies directly to car makers, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. This makes it a popular choice for technicians who want to put a vehicle back to its original driving condition.

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