Review on Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance with KYB 348023 Excel-G Gas Shock by Tuan Core

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Shocking parts cost

These KYBs really impressed me as a rear shock replacement for a Civic coupe. They are equal or better than stocks. It's hard to compare after so many miles but I hope they last as long. Very easy to install but check out the manual or instructional video as the instructions included are literally pictograms. Better value than OEM if they can last 100,000 miles. UPDATE: 70,000 miles later and they still work but make noise (sounds like rumble as the shock moves up and down). But they are probably the best option for the money. Replacing noisy shock absorbers with another KYB kit. (After removing and inspecting the worn KYB shocks, I found that one of them had blown out completely and was not recovering from compression. Therefore, only one of the shocks "worked" anymore. Both shocks were leaking oil. Replaced with new KYBs and drive like new again. Very easy to swap out and no need to remove the rear wheels to get the job done.)

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Repair
