KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear BMW X1 2015-2013

If you're noticing your 2012-2015 BMW X1 isn't handling as smoothly as it used to, or if you're feeling more bumps than you should, it might be time to replace the rear shock absorbers. These KYB Excel-G shocks are built to bring your X1's ride control and stability back to its original factory performance. They're made on the same assembly lines and with the same quality parts that go into new BMWs, so you're essentially getting an Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) part.

The Excel-G design uses a twin-tube construction and is charged with nitrogen gas. This setup helps maintain consistent performance and reduces the chance of the shock foaming up, which can happen with harder driving. KYB calibrates these shocks specifically to match your BMW X1's original tuning, meaning they'll restore the intended handling, stopping, and lane change responsiveness without altering the factory feel.

When you're installing these shocks, KYB recommends replacing the shock mounts at the same time, like their part number SM5767, to help prevent noise and vibration down the road. Getting new mounts installed with the shocks is a good idea to ensure the best possible ride and longevity.
