Reviews & Ratings
KYB Excel-G shock absorber to suit:
Beetle 1966> Front
Karmann Ghia 1966> Front
KYB GR2 offer a firm sporty ride and precise control.. During testing by volksworld magazine KYB shocks came out on top for performance. These are gas pressured and medium to firm ride
It is very important to fit the correct length shocks to a lowered car. There must be at least 2 inches of up and down travel from the normal ride height. To ascertain what length you require you must measure the distance between the shock mountings on your vehicle after you have removed the existing shock. This must be done with the vehicle on its road wheels (not on a jack). Once you have measured you need to check it against the shock absorbers we list to see which ones you need.
Prior to fitting new shock absorbers always pump it through a few strokes the correct way up. This removes bubbles that may have formed in the fluid whilst in storage and improves the effectiveness.

Product Questions
Best to measure your vehicles shock mounting point distance (bolt centre to bolt centre ) with the vehicle on the deck ie its normal ride height. You will need to find a shock that can offer at least 50mm of travel up and down from standard ride height measurement. Hope this info helps!
