KYB Gas Adjust vs. KYB GR-2/Excel

[andy72]

Does anyone have first hand experience with the KYB Gas Adjust shock?

Their GR-2/Excel shock is advertised as upgrade over stock yet not as harsh/stiff as their Gas Adjust shock.

I'm about to order all new front suspension components from Rock Auto.  The KYB's have a $100.00 rebate

promotion going on until the 30th.  I'd like to order one of these two KYB options while I'm at it.

Any thoughts...

i  found the KYB gas adjust  to be very harsh for every day driving  and switch to the excel

I have KYB’s also and I want to change them to the GR-2’s also! I agree with previous post! Too harsh for every day riding!

Agreed. Granted, my Gas adjusts were fifteen years old, but they were always harsh, but felt that way from the start. Pretty happy with the Excels until I get my Konis rebuilt.

Thank you both much for the comments.

I kinda wanted to keep this as my comfy stang.  That helps.

My 67 with a 472, full Global West suspension with 750 lb. front coils, power nothing...

Ya, thanks...

The full "Global West" did not come with shocks or a recommendation?

Have the KYB Gas up front. Can feel a pencil if I drive over it.

But isn't that what you want?

Thanks guys, but it's my 67 that has the full Global West treatment.

That car is stiff and tight.  Handles great with the Falken Azenis RT615K's and Billstein shocks.

The car has power nothing...

These are for my 72 Mach which I want to be a more comfortable ride.

Power steering, brakes, air, ect...  I didn't want the KYB gas shocks to make the car harsh, so I went with the GR-2 KYB's.

I've heard....that Gas-A-Just in front and GR2/Excel in rear works well. I have used GR2s in the past on Opels and really liked them.
