KYB GR-2's or KYB Gas-a-Just???

Which are better? They don't make front struts for my car in the Gas-a-just so I figured I'd go witht the GR-2's all the way around. What do you guys think?

KYB recommends going with the gr2 for the front and the gasadjust in the rear.

Yea... Bilstein's. Worth every penny.

BTW, Vette Brakes has some of the better prices on Bilstein. www.vettebrakes.com I believe.

I use the gas adjust on the rears, but adjustable koni's on the front. Great for the road course, a bit harsh for the street tho. But the handling is Superb.

So the kyb gasadjust handle the rear pretty good? I am putting Bilsteins on the front and was either going with the kyb gasadjust or Herb Adams adjustables in the rear.

Gr2's are a soft ride shock. They work good but not ina performance aplication. Bilsteins are better. The gas adjusts are stifer.
