- Excel-G OEA design: This KYB gas shock absorber Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube unit made on the same KYB OE assembly lines with the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore original designed performance — earning KYB's Original Equipment for the Aftermarket (OEA) classification.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: Uses a triple lip fluid seal to reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
