KYB Struts and Shocks

Does anyone have anything good or bad to tell me about KYB Gas-Adjust-Shocks and the GR-2s? I was planning on oredering them, gas-adjusts for the back and the GR-2s in front. I've seen several people with these mods in their signature, so i was thinking they're good. Thanks.

I've got the GR2 struts and shocks on mine. When I put them on the factory original struts and shocks were still on, and orginal springs are still on there. Considering the poor condition of my springs the car rides realy well. They really aren't any more harsh than any regular ones. The car did seem to handle a little better too, but not alot better. Considering the cost, I think they are a good deal. I've had them on for about 2 years now, and they still seem as stiff as the first day they were on. And I haven't had any problems with them at all. If you just want a good handling streetable car and don't want to spend alot of cash, I say use the GR2s. But if you are looking for some good skid pad numbers, shell out the bucks for something more performance oriented.
