What Makes KYB Excel-G Different
KYB is an OE supplier for many manufacturers, and the Excel-G line is designed to match original factory valving, not guess at it.
Key features:
-
Nitrogen gas-charged design to reduce foaming
-
OE-calibrated damping rates
-
Seamless tube construction for strength
-
Triple-lip fluid seal to prevent leaks
-
Black corrosion-resistant finish
Translation: consistent control, long life, no drama.
Ride Comfort may be important, but restoring a vehicle’s Ride Control; stability, stopping, lane change responsiveness and handling is critical. KYB Excel-G Shocks & Struts are designed for the most important performance purpose: Restoring the vehicle’s original capabilities.
Ride Quality & Driving Benefits
Once installed, the KYB 349242 helps restore:
-
Controlled rebound after bumps
-
Improved braking stability
-
Reduced body roll and sway
-
Better tire contact with the road
-
Smoother, quieter ride
Perfect for daily drivers, commuters, and vehicles that rack up real miles.
KYB is a world leading supplier of shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers and the Excel-G is made on the very same KYB OE assembly lines, uses the same OE quality components and is calibrated to restore original, designed performance, not change it. That has earned Excel-G the classification: OEA (Original Equipment for the Aftermarket).
Why Replace Shocks Before They “Fail”
Most shocks don’t catastrophically fail—they fade. By the time you notice:
-
Excessive bouncing
-
Nose dive under braking
-
Wandering at highway speeds
You’ve already lost suspension control and increased stopping distance. Fresh shocks bring the chassis back under control and reduce stress on tires, springs, and bushings.
The KYB Excel-G is a nitrogen gas-charged, twin-tube design that includes every quality component that our global OEM products include and it is the preferred choice for Asian vehicles.
Installation Notes
-
Direct bolt-on replacement
-
Sold individually (replace in pairs for best results)
-
Uses factory mounting points
-
Wheel alignment recommended after suspension service
Professional installation is recommended for optimal ride and tire wear.

I recently installed new shocks on my 2014 Honda Odyssey, and the difference is remarkable. The installation was straightforward and hassle-free. Now, the ride feels incredibly smooth, almost like sitting on a sofa in a brand-new car. The overall driving experience has improved significantly, with better handling and comfort. I highly recommend these shocks to anyone looking to restore or enhance their vehicle’s ride quality. If you’re considering an upgrade, I definitely recommend giving these shocks a try.

These were easy to install on a 2013 Honda Odyssey. 3 nuts per side. They are easy to compress to help with the installation. Ride firmness was restored on a van with 130000 miles. KYBs have been my go to shock/strut for japanese vehicles. Fit and performance have always been spot on.

Vehicle: 2011 Honda Odysseymileage: 110,390I only replaced the rear shocks. So far, so good.
Amazon Customer –
Why did you pick this product vs others?:functions as they should. replaced OEM rear shocks that had 220k on them.
Shawn Vanderdoes –
Delivery was quick, the product fits as it should and installation went smoothly.
Robert Fitzgerald –
Box was beat up on delivery but no damage to shocks. Installed with in 45 minutes or so. Longest time I spent was getting the the jack-stands in place. No noticeable ride difference from original OEM. One of my shocks started to leak hence replacing both rear shocks.
CT Mom –
Purchased these shocks for our Honda Odyssey (rears), unfortunately the bounce these create is unbelievable – especially on highway speeds – they create the feeling of an old Buick and not the relative stiffness the Honda is know for even though it is a minivan… We will have to replace these shocks after having driven it for a couple of months now and having it back at the repair shop for analysis – Yes the bounce is that noticeable… For something that is supposed to be better than OEM, these are severely under-built. I would unfortunately NOT recommend these for the Honda Odyssey or a similar minivan..I am sure KYB builds good shocks overall, but these are definitively not built for its intended purpose…

Item is great

Excellent quality shocks (Honda Odyssey)
Exactly as expected. 2016 Odyssey is riding like new again. Per my research, these are the ones that Odyssey originally shipped with so truly OEM part.
