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

The primary goal of the KYB Excel-G shock absorber is to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, and handling capabilities. It's designed to bring your car back to its factory-designed performance, not to alter it.

What does 'twin-tube design' mean for this shock absorber?

A twin-tube design uses two tubes to house the shock's internal components. This construction is well-known for providing consistent damping performance and is a popular choice for restoring original ride quality.

Does this shock absorber come with a protective boot?

This shock absorber does not include a strut boot. You can protect your new shock from dirt, debris, and salt by purchasing a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB108, separately.

Product Details

This KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber uses a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design, a common and reliable setup for restoring your vehicle's original ride control. When your shocks start to wear out, you might notice less stability, longer stopping distances, and a less responsive feel when changing lanes or cornering. The goal of the Excel-G line is to bring your Honda Civic back to its factory-designed performance levels, not to change them.

KYB is a major supplier of shocks and struts to car manufacturers, and these Excel-G units are built on the same assembly lines using the same quality components as original equipment. They are calibrated specifically to bring back the handling, stability, and responsiveness your 2003-2005 Civic had when it was new. This makes them a popular choice for technicians looking to perform a straightforward replacement that gets the car feeling right again.

To help protect your new shock from dirt and debris, consider adding a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB108.
