I am very annoying best in Shocks & Struts

I am not satisfied with this product, a few days ago I received 2 shock absorbers out of 4 that I pay and then they have the other 2 Products sent missed but now I have to return the other two parts. I know if I don't ship these two my credit card will be charged if I leave this item behind. I'm not happy with that. I need four shock absorbers from my car, please don't. No extra charge for this product.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • I will write later

Great shelves at a great price.

Replaced C-pillars on my 1999 Honda Civic. With Eibach Sportline lowering springs paired with Excel-G struts, the difference is that day or night the car feels like a new car and feels tighter. I will buy front carrier. I recommend these shelves to all those cheap ones you might want to buy from your local store. The struts locked up very easily and I felt a little tighter than the OEM.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Minor issues

Great replacement for OEM

I was motivated to write this review as other reviews are related to shipping or expect a pair for the price of one. My goal was to replace shock absorbers as close to OEM as possible without spending $150 for each "steal". My 97 Civic LX isn't understated or loaded with high-performance parts. KYB GR2 is a great solution. Good product. I recommend renting a spring compressor. It's not hard work with your own hands. I didn't see much improvement over the old shocks so maybe I replaced them a…

I bought two. They are black

As I mentioned in my review for the front KYB 341203 Excel-G OE replacement shock absorber is for a shock absorber. If you need both for the back, order two. If you need all four, order two of the above as well. Also, this item is matte black, not silver as shown in the picture. Just note that if you want silver, you need to order "GR-2" or get silver color. Others complain that this one shock absorber is offered for the price of two. Nonsense. This item is competitively priced, and if you're a

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • There are imperfections

Didn't last long - bad quality?

Bought a pair of these for my '97 Civic HX. Ride quality was good initially, but doesn't last long. After 2 years and 22,000 miles of commuting the driver's side shock has exploded and is leaking fluid all over the shock body. Because of this, the ride quality is now very poor. I expected them to last more than 2 years. They are said to have a lifetime guarantee. I'm trying to get KYB to cover one of them under warranty. Let's see what happens and I'll update my review accordingly. Updated…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
