KYB shocks any good?
i'm going to be upgrading my suspension soon and have been looking into the GR2 and Gas-a-just shocks from KYB. I see that they have specific applications for f-bodies, and was wondering if these little fellas are any good. i also plan on a set of lowering springs too, if that means anything. thanx

Try using the search function. Seems like at least once a week someone asks this. I'm sure you'll find tons of opinions.

KYBs are a good replacement shock. But they were too soft for my tastes.
