- OEA build: KYB's Excel-G is made on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components and calibrated to restore original, designed performance rather than change it.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping: hand-assembled, in-house damping valves are designed to manage tire contact, steering response and body movement.
- Supports safety systems: helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended by keeping the suspension working as designed.
KYB recommends the Excel-G as an OEM replacement shock for classic, domestic cars. Sold individually; for even ride control, replacing both sides of the axle together as a matched pair is best practice.
