KYB strut question


Garrett Powered

Recommended Posts

I ordered KYB GR2 struts for my car and paid $211.75 for all 4 and the rears are GR2s but the front cartridges say Excel G on the box when I specifically ordered GR2s all the way around. Now is the Excel G a cheaper cartridge? I'm thinking they are trying to pull a fast one on me.

 

quoted from les schwab website:" Note: GR-2 may be called Excel-G on some applications."

 

Is this true?

alright good, just wanted to make sure, I didn't want to have to return them. I got some KYBs for the car in '06 that the back ones are leaking and rattling already and they might have been the cheap ones they make or something. I will pull them off and see, but I don't think they were GR2s but I was hoping they renamed them. I haul a lot of stuff in the trunk for work so that might have been what done them in so soon. they worked great at first :willynilly: just like my new rack before it shit the bed :willynilly: so hopefully I get more than 2-3 years of use from them. :rolleyes:

From what I understand KYB calls the GR2s Excel Gs everywhere else in the world, and they are just standardizing now.

 

Same strut, different look.
