Kayaba 'Powers Up' its OE Business with Subaru Impreza

Kayaba, the world's largest producer of shock absorbers, has continued to strengthen its relationship with Subaru by supplying shock absorbers as original equipment (OE) for the latest generation Impreza.

KYB branded shock absorbers and struts will now be fitted on all Impreza models including the high performance Impreza WRX STi. Kayaba's state-of-the-art front struts and rear shock absorbers are carefully designed to soften impact and absorb vibrations to improve driver comfort, while also ensuring high levels of road grip, performance handling and safety.

Hajime Sato, Managing Director of Kayaba Europe said: "Supplying such an innovative manufacturer as Subaru is great for the Kayaba brand. Our advanced technological developments in both OE and aftermarket components mean that we can meet the needs of both the vehicle manufacturer and the motorist."

One in four of the world's cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are fitted with Kayaba shock absorbers as original equipment as they leave the production line. As well as Subaru, Kayaba supplies numerous other car makers including: Alfa Romeo, Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Toyota/Lexus, and Volkswagen.
