Easy to install on shock absorbers, struts and suspension

The shock absorbers are quite easy to install, two screws on each side. Significant driving improvement. Note: If you are replacing shock absorbers on a Saturn Ion, you will likely need to replace the spring retainers as well.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Negative impression

Easy to install, great price

I installed this on my 2006 Saturn Ion. Installation was very easy and took about 40 minutes to swap out both rear shocks using only hand tools. I shopped around and it was the best price anywhere.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

worked for me - replacement parts

These shock absorbers fit my 2004 Saturn Ion 3 perfectly. The first side took 60 minutes and the second side took 20 minutes. My trick was to use a second jack to lift the shock from the bottom after it was attached. Never done shocks, thanks.

Pros
  • very good price
Cons
  • upgrade available

Easy installs on 2004 Ion 2

Noticeably improves ride and handling over worn stock shocks. Easy install on Ion 2 2004. Only problem was removing the rusty bottom screw so be sure to use an anti-seize compound when reinstalling the screws.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Replacement available

Product replacement

WARNING! If you order this product, you will not receive the KYB GR-2. Seller sends KYB Excel-G. It looks like KYB have merged their product line and claim they are equal. It isn't - the Excel-G's top pivot is larger and won't fit in my car. Get ready to send it back.

Pros
  • Very fast delivery
Cons
  • Crumpled
