Restore the original ride control, stability, and handling of your MINI with the KYB Excel-G Rear Suspension Strut 341924. It's a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2002-2006 MINI Cooper (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific coverage). KYB is a world-leading OE shock and strut supplier, and the Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines with OE-quality components, calibrated to restore the vehicle's designed performance rather than change it — 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, the preferred choice of professional technicians.
- Triple lip fluid seal: helps reduce the chance of oil and gas leaking out.
- Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves: manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement, helping keep electronic safety systems performing as designed.
- Strong, thick strut bodies and brackets: minimize flex to help maintain correct alignment.
To reduce the chance of noise and vibration, KYB recommends installing new strut mounts, part number SM5444. Rear struts wear as a pair, so replacing both sides together is best practice for balanced ride control.
