I have original springs in the front with KYB Excel-g for the past 2 years and 35K miles. Rears I have OEM 01-03 struts and springs for the past 1 year and 18K miles. The Excel-g struts do take some time to break in or settle probably 1K miles where the OEM struts ride very nice out of the box
I'm sorry my friend but there are simply too many variables here for a legit comparison.
Which OE struts do the Excels feel identical to? The used OE removed from the front, the used 04-06 struts removed from the rear, or the new 01-03 installed on the rear a year after the front Excels were installed and after a month (guessing 1k miles) of getting used to them...? Also, let's not forget how important tires are for overall suspension feel. Were the tires the same age/wear through the past 2 years of iterations?
