KYB Excel-G Shocks & Struts are designed for the most important performance purpose: Restoring the vehicle’s original capabilities. KYB is a world leading supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers and the Excel-G is made on the very same KYB OE assembly lines, uses the same OE quality components and is calibrated to restore original, designed performance, not change it. That has earned Excel-G the classification: OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket). The KYB Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that includes every quality component that our global OEM products include and it is the preferred choice for Asian vehicles.

Bought these to replace the old leaking rear shocks on my 2005 Element. The quality is great and they fit perfectly with my OEM springs and mounts. Completely restored the ride quality. Now on to a pair of matching KYB Excel-G shocks for the front (once Amazon gets more stock).

I Ordered 4 KYB struts for our 2003 Honda Element. The rear struts were a matching pair of KYB 344611 Excel-G Gas Struts that were made in USA and they were a pleasure to install.The front struts, KYB 331046 Excel-G Gas Strut and KYB 331047 Excel-G Gas Strut are supposed to be a matched pair for the front of a car. I was uncomfortable with the fact that the struts that were actually delivered were made in two different factories. One came from Japan while the other came from Malaysia. KYB USA has information that says all their factories are the same, but I would have preferred to get a pair made by the same team of engineers and machine operators. I could not guess know how many times I would have to return and reorder to get lucky and have a matched pair sent out, so I gave in and installed the two front struts. I noticed that the Japanese product seemed to have stiffer actuation and seemed to have better finish with the welds, metal stamping, and paint. I wish I had just gotten a matched pair of one or the other so I wouldn't have had the chance to compare. The car is high mileage so I am hoping that I will not have to find out if one wears out before the other.Finally, the KYB packaging is not prepared for parcel shipment, Amazon plops the KYB box in an amazon box and kicks it off the loading dock. The insufficient packaging resulted in the fact that each of the KYB boxes were destroyed by the strut bouncing around and poking through the top bottom and sides. The proper thing to do would be to open the KYB box and stuff it with something to secure the shock for shipment through a parcel service. The existing packaging is obviously meant for palette delivery to a parts jobber who can handle the packaging with due care until final delivery to a work shop.

Kyb shocks are well built and are perfect replacments to the oem shocks, easy to install make sure you have the necessary tools and heavy duty jack stands to firmly support your vehilce. After install do a new 4 wheel alignment and then you are set for many more years of smooth driving!
