Get controlled, confident handling on your air-cooled Porsche with the KYB shock absorber KG5543, a high-pressure Gas-a-just monotube rear shock that installs as an OE monotube replacement for the 1965-1971 Porsche 911 and 1965-1969 Porsche 912, with components and valving designed specifically for the 911 and 912.

  • Twin-chamber monotube design: an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas chamber with a floating piston for a comfortable ride during normal driving and added performance on demand.
  • Up to 25% more damping: the Gas-a-just adds up to 25% more damping performance over original-equipment shocks, with extra damping for vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels.
  • Fade-free operation: this KYB gas shock absorber uses a high-pressure monotube that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Reduced seal wear: an ultra-smooth, triple-chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.

The higher gas pressure responds quickly to improve steering response, and the Gas-a-just helps keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed by the vehicle manufacturer.
