Restore the designed ride control, stability, and handling of your 2001-2005 Lexus IS300 with the KYB Excel-G Front Suspension Strut 341262. This nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube strut is a direct-fit front replacement built on the same KYB OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, calibrated to return the original, designed performance rather than change it — the reason Excel-G carries KYB's OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification.
- Twin-tube, gas-charged design: Includes the same quality components found in KYB's global OEM products and is a preferred choice among professional technicians.
- 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 brackets: Among the strongest in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
Because electronic safety systems depend on the suspension, brakes, and tires working as the manufacturer intended, the Excel-G helps keep those systems performing as designed. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5490) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB101). See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
