KYB GasAJusts in front/GR2 in rear combo

[SadbutTrue]

How many have done this?

I've had Gas A Justs on all 4 wheels for about 5 years. The fronts seem great, but the rears seem to bounce around corners (its different than the 'skip' feeling that rear sways cause or the sensation an overly tight posi/locker has... just to get pre-empt those questions) and overall just seem too stiff for my car's light rearend. I've heard a number of other people say the same thing.

I'm considering getting some GR2s for the rear. I like that they're still pretty inexpensive, and should be stiffer than stock but not as bad as the GasAJusts.

Sounds like a pretty good solution overall... and figured I'd ask if anyone has experience with it. Anyone?

Subscribing, same combo, but not installed yet, from talking to John @ Opentracker racing, I went this route per his recomendation

If John recommended them, thats about as good an endorsment as a set of shocks is going to get. Still, before I take the plunge it might be nice to hear from someone who has done it themselves.

I did ask this before, but it was one of my mega-posts with piles of unrelated qeustions in it, so it didn't get much fanfare.

I'm going to spit the extra coin out for the Bilstiens, but if I was really on a squeeky budget, I think the GRII is okay.

I have no idea what the white ones are valved for, but it's way overdamped for anything short of 5 leafs and maybe doing Dukes of Hazzard jumping.

i've got the same combo on my 69 coupe with 720's and roller perches up front with 5 leaf mid-eyes in the rear works well for me
