Ride Comfort is important, but restoring a vehicle's Ride Control; stability, stopping, lane change responsiveness and handling is critical. KYB Suspension kits that include Strut Plus Assemblies and Excel-G Shocks are designed for the most important performance purpose: Restore the vehicle's original capabilities. KYB is the world's largest supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers. The Excel-G is made on the same KYB OE assembly lines, uses the same OE quality components and is calibrated to restore original, designed performance. That earned Excel-G this classification: OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
