kyb shocks and struts
guys i just got done installing my kybs all the way arround. i bought the gassadjust for the rear and gr2 front struts. Why is the front so much stiffer than the rear? I thought the gr2 was supposed to be more of a stock replacment strut. The rear shocks are tight but they are noticably looser than the front espessaly over speed bumps.

If you go to KYB's website, it will explain there the reason for using GR-2 struts and Gas-Adjust shocks. It was determined by KYB after much engineering and research, undoubtedly, that this is the best combo for a 3rd gen car.

I have the KYBs on my car i didnt get the gas adjust for the rears though i bought the cheaper set. IM happy with them they could be a little firmer for all out handling. I get some pitch and dive but the car corners flat.
Greg..do you have the nnn springs in the rear? They are kinda on the soft side compared to the fronts(BZWs)thats what i have on my car. It seems to give a good ride with good handling with the rear setup softer.

I had that same combo, but felt just the opposite. The front was wayy softer then the back. The front being soft was the main reason i changed over to Bilsteins.

I was thinking of getting the agx's for my car front and rear. anyone know anything about these? they're the ones that are fully adjustable with a dial (1-8) to adjust the stiffness of the strut or shock.
