Get the job done: Replacement parts

Was fairly easy to install. Driving on my VW Beetle 73 has improved. This lifted the car a bit from the sagging and worn out shock absorbers that were replaced.

Pros
  • Triple chrome plated stem and anti-wear multi-lip seals
Cons
  • Seller communication

nice ride in my Karmann Ghia

replaced all shock absorbers with these and the ride is great. These Excel-Gs have replaced GR-2s. very happy with them. FYI they have a light load of gas and they raised the front of my Ghia about an inch. While I enjoy driving, I plan to replace the front oil (not gas) shocks.

Pros
  • #1 recommended import car OE replacement choice
Cons
  • not as thick as other options

KYB 343143 GR - 2 shock absorbers

New in box. the seller gave me a great price. Shipping is reasonable. Dampers work better than expected. Came instructions, bushings, washers, nuts. If you want your Beetle to drive better and the tires to last longer, buy a kit. However, if you enjoy driving a Lincoln Cruiser that feels like you're sitting on a bed of water splashing down the freeway, then this won't shock you. Better just remove the shock absorbers and replace them with empty plastic bottles.

Pros
  • One piece seamless mounting lugs and debouncing bolt bushings
Cons
  • Negative present
