KYB Shocks & Struts Excel-G Rear Left KIA Sephia 1998-00 KIA Spectra 2000-01

If you're working on a 1998-2000 Kia Sephia or a 2000-2002 Kia Spectra, this KYB Excel-G rear left shock absorber is built to bring back your vehicle's original handling and stability. KYB is a major supplier to car manufacturers, and these shocks are made on the same assembly lines using the same quality parts as original equipment. The goal here is to restore your car's designed performance, not to change it, making these a solid choice for bringing your ride back to factory feel.

This is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock. It includes all the quality components you'd expect from an original equipment part. Because it's designed to match your vehicle's original specifications, it's often called OEA, which stands for Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. This means you're getting a part that's calibrated to put your car's ride control, stability, and responsiveness back to how it was when it left the factory.

When you're replacing shocks or struts, it's always a good idea to consider replacing the strut mounts at the same time. KYB recommends their strut mount part number SM5233 to help reduce the chance of noise and vibration down the road.
