What is the OEA classification for KYB shocks?

OEA stands for Original Equipment for the Aftermarket. This means the KYB Excel-G shocks are made on the same assembly lines as original equipment parts, using the same quality components and calibrated to restore your vehicle's original performance.

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

The primary goal of the Excel-G shock absorber is to restore your vehicle's original ride control, stability, stopping, lane change responsiveness, and handling. It's designed to bring the car back to its factory-intended performance.

What additional part is recommended to protect this shock absorber?

KYB recommends using a KYB Strut Boot, part number SB115, to protect the shock absorber from dirt, debris, and road salt. This can help extend the service life of the shock.

Product Details

This KYB Excel-G rear shock absorber uses a twin-tube, nitrogen gas-charged design to help bring your 1985-1999 Volkswagen Golf, 1995-2002 Cabrio, 1990-1994 Corrado (Exc. V6), or 1985-1999 Jetta back to its original handling capabilities. While ride comfort is important, restoring your vehicle's ride control, stability, and responsiveness is critical, and that's exactly what these shocks are built to do.

KYB is a major supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is built on the same assembly lines using the same quality components as their original equipment parts. They are calibrated to restore the vehicle's original performance, not to change it. This approach has earned the Excel-G the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification, meaning they are essentially the same as what came on your car from the factory.

If you're replacing worn-out struts, consider adding a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB115) to protect your new shocks from dirt, debris, and road salt, helping to extend their service life.
