Steady the ride and manage body motion at the rear with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Shock Absorber 348085, a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube shock that drops in as a rear replacement for the 2013-2015 Honda Civic (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment). KYB builds the Excel-G to restore a vehicle's originally designed control, handling, and stability rather than change it — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification and status as KYB's #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian cars.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: nitrogen gas-charged construction built to restore the vehicle's designed damping performance.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: reduces the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to correctly manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Robust build: strong, thick strut bodies and brackets that minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. Made in USA.
