KYB-GR2's rear softer that front??

So about 4 months ago I installed KYB-GR2's all around but I was wondering if the rear shocks are softer than the front because when I go to push down on the front it hardly moves up and down but when I go to the rear and give it a good push downwards I am actually able to make it go up and down....are my rear shocks worn?is that how they are supposed to be?thanks!

If you are pushing down on the car then the resistance you feel is actually the springs. The front springs and struts are way stiffer than rears. I'd say that what you describe is to be expected.
