What's the deal with KYB shocks? - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Summit only carries KYB Gas-a-just shocks for the rear of thirdgens...what's the deal? The KYB GR-2s come in the front and the rear, but are cheaper...could I buy Gas-a-justs for the rear shocks and GR2 struts for the front, or is it better to go all GR2s just for the sake of being the same? I want a performance package that is also comfortable (who doesn't). If anybody has experience with this, please respond! Thanks.

I was planning on getting GR2 in the front and Gas-a-just in the rear. I heard this is how they are supposed to be. Also www.tirerack.com has KYB shocks cheeper than Summit does

I have the gas-a-just shocks in the rear and the GR-2 struts in front. It rides a hell of a lot better then my old shock/struts that would bottom out and cause my driveshaft to rub.
