Overview
A driver whose handling has gone loose is the target for this KYB Excel-G shock. It is a nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design built on the same lines KYB uses for new vehicle makers.
Think of it as a restore-the-original part rather than an upgrade. The gaps are the missing vehicle list, position and length, which a buyer has to settle from the part number.
Who it's for
People keeping a car or truck close to factory behavior who want stability and steering response restored. Those wanting sport tuning, or a listing that names the vehicle, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Calibrated to restore original handling
- Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design
- Painted black and silver finish
- Vehicle list not shown
- Position not listed
- Length and travel not given
Performance notes
The gas charge limits foaming under repeated movement, and the twin-tube body damps compression and rebound to hold the tire on the road. Because it is tuned to match the original, the car should feel as it did when new.
