Product Details

KYB is a top supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and their Excel-G line is built on the same OE assembly lines using the same quality components. If you're looking to bring your 1975-1978 Nissan 280Z back to its original handling and stability, this rear shock absorber is a solid choice. It's calibrated to restore your vehicle's designed performance, not to change it, earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.

This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock absorber uses every quality component found in KYB's global OE products. It focuses on restoring critical functions like ride control, stability, stopping, and lane change responsiveness. While ride comfort is a factor, the primary goal of the Excel-G is to bring back the vehicle's original capabilities, making it a popular choice for professional technicians looking to perform a factory-level restoration.

To help protect your new shock absorber from dirt, debris, and salt, consider getting a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB103. This is a direct replacement part designed to fit your vehicle's original mounting points.
