Review on πŸš€ Enhance Performance with KYB 341302 Excel-G Gas Shock: Unleash Optimal Control and Comfort by Chad Blanchet

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good shock absorbers on parts

KYB Excel-G is reputed to be a popular brand for mechanics and car enthusiasts and is also recommended by auto manufacturers as an OEM replacement. These shocks range in ride quality between soft and firm. I've used them several times on 2nd gen explorers. If you want a plush ride, go for blue Monroe shocks. But they affect handling and body roll. If you like something between soft and firm, go for these KYB Excel Gs. They handle decently, but with decent body roll. The Gabriel Pro Guard is solid and offers very good handling with limited body roll. The KYB Gas A-Justs are very solid (to the point where they are uncomfortable) but offer the best handling with little to no body roll. It just depends what you like.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power
