KYB KG6800 Suspension Strut - Front

KYB Gas-a-Just Front Strut for Toyota Supra

The KYB Gas-a-Just KG6800 is a front suspension strut for 1994-1998 Toyota Supra models with non-adjustable suspension. It is built as an OE-style monotube replacement to restore original ride control while adding quicker response for performance-focused driving.

For Toyota Supra owners looking for a front strut that handles heavier wheels, towing loads, or spirited street use, the Gas-a-Just line adds damping capacity beyond the original design. The KG6800 is engineered for the front position and uses KYB’s Gas-a-Just monotube layout for consistent control.

Key Features

• Part number KG6800 for the front suspension
• Fits 1994-1998 Toyota Supra, front
• Recommended OEM replacement for non-adjustable suspension applications
• Up to 25% more damping performance than original equipment shocks
• High-pressure monotube design separates gas and oil for fade-resistant operation and fast response
• Triple chrome-plated piston rod helps reduce seal wear and fluid leakage
• Higher gas pressure improves steering response
• Designed specifically for the Toyota Supra application
• Supports vehicles that work, tow, or run larger, heavier tires and wheels

Product Details

KYB Gas-a-Just struts use two working chambers: an air-free hydraulic section for control and a high-pressure nitrogen gas section with a floating piston for ride comfort during normal driving and added performance when demand increases. This design helps maintain consistent damping as conditions change, which is important for a Toyota Supra front strut that must balance road comfort with responsive handling. The KG6800 measures 16.26 inches compressed, 20.55 inches extended, and 4.29 inches of stroke, with an E2(14X49.5) lower mount and S1(12MM) upper mount.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or reduced damping control
• Slow steering response during lane changes or cornering
• Ride fade after repeated suspension movement
• Oil leakage from worn strut seals
• Reduced stability on a Toyota Supra with heavier wheels or tires

Installation Notes

Fits 1994-1998 Toyota Supra, front, recommended OEM replacement; exc. adjustable suspension. Verify mount style and dimensions before installation. KYB also notes that a strut boot, part number SB101, can help protect the new strut from dirt, debris, and salt. Because suspension geometry affects braking and electronic safety systems, confirm all related components are in proper condition after replacement.

Quality Assurance

KYB designs Gas-a-Just struts as OE monotube replacements for restoring factory capability with added damping performance. The monotube construction, high-pressure gas charge, and chrome-plated rod are used to support consistent operation and reduce wear in demanding front suspension service.
