KYB GR2 struts and Gas-a-just shocks: Can I use this combination?
I'm trying to get a set of KYB Gas-a-just shocks and struts and after calling Summit (and searching their site) turned out they don't sell the struts. The sales guy recommended going with Gas-a-just shocks and GR2 struts.
I'm a little uneasy about going with different models.
What do yo think, is it OK to mix them like that? Do you know of any vendors selling a complete Gas-a-just set for our cars?
Thanks
D.

I'm running GR-2 struts up front and the Gas-A-Just shocks out back and it handles fantastically.

There is no Gas-a-just strut. Gas-a-just only comes in a shock. The GR2 strut/Gas-a-just shock is the correct combination to use. It's a solid, reliable and affordable combination, so no worries.

Re: KYB GR2 struts and Gas-a-just shocks: Can I use this combination?
Not that you need more feedback, but I also run that combo and like it. It's an extremely common setup on these cars, since the gas-a-just is a great shock for the money, and since they don't make it in a strut you're stuck with the GR2 upfront. It's not a monroe or anything, it's pretty solid.
