kyb gas adjust vs the gr2 rear shocks

I plan on getting the kyb gr2 for the front...don't suggest koni etc, im not spending that much on a non dd car. my question is would getting the gas adjustable shocks be good or should I just stick with the gr2's rears. I cant see the rears being as important as the fronts so I don't know if upgrading the backs only is pointless

I don't know about the gr2s but the Gas-a-just have a reputation for being stiff and is why I will be buying them. I don't want any bounce in the rear.

Kyb GR2 struts up front & KYB gas/adjust shocks in the rear are a good set up. For the money you can not go wrong. Been running that set for a few years now and it works for me and a lot of others on this Form.

I like the KYB AGX you can adjust them to you driving conditions they may cost a little more but worth the money

If you want control over you handling because our car have around a 60/40 front to rear weight balance you need all of the adjustable parts that you can get
