The KYB Strut-Plus means "OE-Plus" for your vehicle: The KYB Strut-Plus is a ready to install assembly that doesn’t require a special spring compressor to transfer parts. It’s OE-Plus because it’s designed to "restore" designed performance. That‘s better than using an OE replacement part because OE parts are designed for new vehicles, not used vehicles. The Strut-Plus goal is to help restore the vehicle’s Tire Control which affects vehicle stability, stopping distance, lane change responsiveness and overall handling. Every component in a complete strut assembly is critical to its overall performance: That’s why the KYB Strut-Plus only includes the highest OE or better components. At the heart of Strut-Plus is the Excel-G Gas Strut which is built on the same KYB OE assembly lines and is calibrated to compensate for wear caused by vehicle age & miles driven. Where applicable, the KYB Strut-Plus also includes a new coil spring, mount, insulator, bearing plate and attaching parts. The KYB Strut-Plus comes pre-assembled, saves time on installation, eliminates assembly errors and includes all necessary components to get the job done right; the first time.
