Great replacement dampers!

I replaced the OEM shocks in my 2008 Pontiac Torrent with these KYB Excel-G and it feels like new again without the need for OEM shocks having to pay. These shock absorbers are of good quality and made in Japan. I highly recommend them.

Pros
  • Specially calibrated to restore the original handling and ride characteristics of GM SUVs
Cons
  • Modern

Will try a different brand next time

Easy to install but looks like I didn't change the shocks. If this isn't the ride I was looking for, should have tried a different brand

Pros
  • Solid seamless mounting tabs and rattle free pin bushings
Cons
  • Available in black only

Excellent value for money, easy to install

The smoothness of my '07 Equinox has been improved so that the cause of the hard hits is now almost imperceptible. Tips: The bottom bolts are easy to loosen with a wrench at the back, the plastic wheel arch/fender has a 10mm fastener at the top that broke on one side and I had to snap off the other side. As long as you reinstall all the other plastic brackets, you don't have to worry about the two metal brackets.

Pros
  • Mount Type: Vehicle Specific
Cons
  • Has Issues

KYB supplies other brand shock absorbers

Next choice from another cheap brand that failed in 30 days, the KYBs upgrade was a good choice as the rear shock absorber for my SUV. Immediately after installing KYB, I felt the disc was different. A good shock absorber on the road will absorb bumps in the road and make the ride comfortable. I paid $20 more each compared to another cheaper shock, but the difference is worth it.

Pros
  • KYB recommends OEM replacement shock absorbers for SUVs and crossovers
Cons
  • Some bugs
