hey guys, didnt want to make a new thread
do the gr2 and gas adjust shocks have the same ride height?
can i put gas adjust's on the front and gr2's on the back?
i talked to sam about it, but i already bought the front gas adjusts before i got a chance to talk to him, and he says the gr2's are better, so if possible i would like to get those for the back
what would you guys think about that?
should i get gr2's for the back, or have all 4 of the same shocks?

I would sell the ones you have coming now and re-evaluate your shock purchasing decisions. In my opinion that's better than setting for crappy shocks and then needing to change them in the future anyway. I've done it before with things I've bought that were more expensive such as seats and sets of wheels.
If anyone is offended by this, I don't care. There are no laws against alternative suggestions, which people like to whine about a lot lately.

i am sticking with the front shocks and need to know if i should go with the same shock in the back, or get the gr2 shock, i want my car to look stock, and not have the back end higher/lower or anything.
if these shocks go bad, then i will just replace them again. it might cost me more money in the long run, but at this point anything is better than the stock shocks, and i dont have a ton on money laying around to buy good shocks.

Yeah I can't really recommend a particular option here. I would say stick with a matching set all around, but I don't know how those are valved. You might have to be a guinea pig in this case

I'd stick with a matching set. And fwiw I sell GR2's in my shop as a normal around town replacement and would put them above a Gabriel any day... To each his own and that doesn't mean the GR2's are awesome, but I'd certainly run 4 GR2's vs. Gas-a-justs based on my experiences with both on a number of vehicles (and again, if I'm limited to those choices only).

Better damping, longer lasting. But let's not loose site of the fact we aren't talking premium level dampers here. The last set of GR-2's I used personally was on a 1990 Toyota Celica that I used as a winter beater and had 190k miles on it.
