Restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your 2000-2005 Toyota MR2 Spyder with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 334311). This is a rear-left unit, calibrated to bring back the vehicle's designed damping rather than change it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
KYB is a leading OE supplier to new-vehicle manufacturers, and the Excel-G is built on the same assembly lines with the same OE-quality components — earning it the OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- Triple-lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific damping valves: hand-assembled in-house to manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement.
- Strong, thick strut body and bracket: designed to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
The Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended, since those systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires. Made in USA.
