KYB Excel-G Rear Strut Cartridge for Toyota MR2

The KYB Excel-G 365100 is a rear suspension strut cartridge built to restore original ride control, stability, and steering response.

Excel-G Product Line Details

KYB Excel-G is KYB’s OEA-classified replacement line, produced on the same assembly lines used for OE supply and calibrated to return the vehicle to its designed damping characteristics rather than change them. For Toyota MR2 owners, that means a suspension service part focused on restoring body control, tire contact, and predictable handling.

Key Features

• KYB recommended OEM replacement gas cartridge
• Restores designed control and handling for the vehicle
• Triple-lip fluid seal helps reduce oil and gas leakage
• Vehicle-specific, hand-assembled damping valves manage tire contact, steering response, and body movement
• Supports proper operation of electronic safety systems by maintaining suspension behavior as engineered
• Strong strut body and bracket construction helps minimize flex and maintain alignment
• Rear application for 1991-1995 Toyota MR2, Excel-G

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Excessive bouncing after bumps
• Loose or delayed steering response
• Reduced rear-end stability during lane changes
• Uneven tire contact caused by worn damping control

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm compressed length, extended length, stroke length, and upper mount thread size against the original unit before installation. KYB recommends using strut boot SB103 to help protect the new cartridge from dirt, debris, and road salt.

Quality Assurance

KYB supplies shocks and struts to new vehicle manufacturers, and Excel-G is built on the same OE assembly lines using OE-quality components. The design is intended to restore original performance characteristics for the Toyota MR2 rear suspension.
