Restore the settled, controlled ride of your 2000-2005 Toyota Celica with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut 341277, a rear-position gas strut built to return the vehicle to its original designed capabilities. Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design assembled on the same KYB OE lines with the same OE-quality components, earning its OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket) classification. It's the #1 recommended Original Equipment replacement choice for Asian performance vehicles and a preferred pick of professional technicians.
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design: calibrated to restore original ride control, stability, stopping, lane-change response and handling — not change it.
- 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.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment in all conditions, and help keep Electronic Safety Systems performing as designed.
Protect your new struts from dirt, debris and salt with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108), and to reduce the chance of noise and vibration KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5382).
