Just wondering what the difference is between these. I was going to get the GR2 front struts and I am deciding between the Gas-a-just and GR2 rear shocks. I figure since I am getting the GR2s up front and they dont make the gas a just struts I would get GR2s in the rear so I have matched front and rear struts/shocks. However I see that a lot of people get the GR2 front and GAJ rears. The price difference isn't that much but I thoughtit might be better to use the same line of KYBS all around.
Gas-a-justs are a hi pressure monotube shock, like Bilstein. Most people go with the GR2 strut and gas-a-just rears. KYB does not make gas-a-just struts. As far as the shock, gas-a-justs are much better then GR2s.

I guess nobody answered your question...
I am also thinking about purchasing the KYB Gr-2 struts.
I'll probably call KYB tomorrow and ask them.
I ended up using GR2 shocks and struts because I wanted to have the same type all around. I am happy with the results they gave the car a nice balance between ride and handling. Some people use the Gas-a-justs in the rear which might work better but I figured I would get the same struts/shocks all around.
I don't know about the GR2's, but I know the Gas-a-Just's carry a lifetime warranty, and are mono-tube vs. the GR2's twin tube design. I have GasaJusts on my autox car, and my roomate has GR2s on his Focus, I know that's not comparing thirdgen to thirdgen, but the Gas-a-Just seems to be a much higher quality piece to me.
I have GR2 all the way around. They are no way as good as Koni or Bilstein.
But for the money a good deal.
