  Must haves for smooth ride & good handling

  Just purchased these to replace at the same time I added the Ford "B" springs to my car. So far, I'm very pleased with the performance of these struts. I normally choose Monroe, since I can get those locally, but had already installed the KYB shocks on the rear, so decided to stick with that brand. These are equal or better than the Monroe units, plus priced better from AM. I am not disappointed with this brand. It gives a noticeable improvement in ride & handling! As always, AM's great service and delivery play a big part in my decision with parts for my Mustangs.

  Great kit at an even better price!

  This is the only full strut and shock kit I have found on the market. American Muscle has the best price for it with super fast shipping. It has my car better than factory ride comfort and handling. Installation was quick and easy too. Thank you KYB and American Muscle!

  KYB shocks

  These shocks are pretty good replacement for the oem units.Install takes no time at all, but is recommended with a spring replacement as you will have acess to both.Ride is medium but feels right in the turns. Overall a good upgrade from the oem but dosent compare to the higher end shocks but nor does the price.3

  For the baller on a budget

  It is a good strut, for a twin-tube. It definitely restored the ride quality on the front end of the car. My only complaint is that it isn't as firm as I would like, however, I wasn't in the market to spend $250 on a monotube, so I settled for a pair of twin-tubes on the front end. Very good strut for someone on a budget!!! Overall, I like it.

  Kyb gr-2/excel-g struts

  Another great product from American muscle, everything is needed for installation and i was impressed with the quality. Took me the weekend as I chose to replace springs, sway bar end links, ect. Along with a set of performance spring this kit improved my handling and launches dramatically. Thanks am!!!

  KYB's are a definite upgrade to my 2 inch dropped foxbody.

  KYB's are a definite upgrade to my 2 inch dropped foxbody. It hooks the corners like a eurocar. These struts were simple to install. Nice to purchase a noticeable upgrade.
