Anyone running the KYB GR2 shocks?
I am deciding on using the GR2 or the Gas A Justs. As far as my understanding goes between the 2, the GR2 provides a smoother ride. The Gas a justs provides a better handling, stiffer ride. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Main goal here is to get a smooth riding shock instead of handling performance. Thanks.

The GR2's are low pressure and the gas a just are high pressure. My experience with other cars (non Camaro) is that the gas a just's are too stiff. The GR2's provide a much better ride.

Additional digging provided a response from KYB:
K Y B TECHNICAL AND CONSUMER Dept.
The GR-2 line is 10 to 15% firmer than oem. The GR-2 line provides a comfort ride with added rebound control
Gas-A-Just line is 3- to 40% firmer than oem.
The GR-2 would be better for a daily driver type of situation and the Gas-a-Just would be for more of a performance/handling situation.
I'm going with the GR-2s.

I replaced my stock RX7 struts with the KYB's mentioned and loved them. Nice and ride and the car a little better than when it had the stockers. Just my .02
