For Cars & Light Trucks

GR-2/Excel-G gas shock absorbers, strut cartridges and complete struts are affordably priced, twin tube designs that blend a smooth ride quality with enhanced road control. A low-pressure gas charge and patented check valve minimize foaming and aeration to help make sure the ride stays consistent, even under rough conditions. When you want to blend like-new vehicle ride qualities with a little more control, you want KYB GR-2/Excel-G gas series shock absorbers, strut cartridges or complete struts.

While I only have approx. 1,200 miles on the car since the KYB strut/shock replacement (91,000 miles on the OEM) I feel a distinct improvement in the handling and ride of the car. In conjunction with the strut/shock replacement I also put four new General Altimax tires on the car (replacing the Kumhos with approx 30,000 miles). The car feels like a brand new vehicle. It''s a pleasure to drive and I now often drive without the radio on just to enjoy the sound and feel of the car on the road. I bought the tires and shocks/struts through Tire Rack (first time buyer) and everything went smoothly. -- Review submitted: 2009-12-19

Great struts, got these two months ago to replace my worn out stock struts and it made an amazing difference! Can''t wait to buy these for my 93 Sentra too! -- Review submitted: 2009-10-20

I installed a new set of KYB GR-2s about two weeks ago. Firstly I was surprised how well they absorb the bumps and pot holes in the road. Secondly they have improved handling substantially. I find it difficult to understand how shocks can both be firm enough to improve handling and soft enough to absorb back road pot holes but, these shocks do it - very well. I have noticed a big difference in vehicle roll on corners, it simply isn''t there anymore. A huge improvement over stock OEM shocks. I would not hesitate recommending them and I''m sure impressed with their cross abilities. -- Review submitted: 2009-09-21
