Restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your Acura RSX with the KYB Excel-G Suspension Strut (MPN 341376). It installs as a direct-fit rear strut replacement for the 2002-2004 Acura RSX. KYB is a world-leading OE shock and strut supplier, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using the same OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed performance rather than change it — the classification KYB calls OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
- Nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design: includes every quality component found in KYB's global OEM products.
- 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 strut bodies and brackets: among the thickest in the industry to minimize flex and help maintain correct alignment.
The Excel-G also helps keep electronic safety systems performing as the manufacturer intended. KYB recommends installing new strut mounts (part number SM5400) and protecting the strut with a KYB Strut Boot (part number SB108). Refer to the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
