Super HP series. I bought KYB GR2's to put on my car when I put stock springs on for winter. The car was riding rougher then crap so I figured he'd lowered it with the stock struts, which is why I bought new ones.
When I took the back struts/springs out to replace them I noticed that it had GAB adjustable struts, front and rear. The only reason why I didn't notice them upfront while working on the engine is the rustproofing was sprayed over the top of the strut masking the screw.
Are these good struts?

Gab struts are expensive, very stiff (no matter how soft you adjust the setting) Very good for race track, but not a good idea for daily driving.

he had them set at 4. No wonder I was shaking my teeth out lol. I have them set at 2 right now. They're nice, ALOT better then they were at least, I could probably get away with 1.

I had the GAB's on my car for several years. You'll love them. My personal experience was that on the #1 setting front and rear the ride was very similar to stock.

GAB struts are just AGX's.
