Note that the Gymkhana setup is only available for the rears. You can find the GAB struts at CyberAuto...

No, it says they are only adjustable in the rear...no adjustability in the front.

If I were you, I'd get the Koni yellow.

GAB's are made by KYB, that's why they look the same.

KYB usually offers a cheaper version of what GAB sells. For instance, my KYB Buzz Specs are exactly the same as GAB super strokes.

Anyway, like I said before; get Koni.

I heard Koni's are only adjustable on the rears if you take them off and adjust them.

I also heard someone say that GAB's are "better valved" than KYB's. But I would imagine that "better" is a matter of perspective.

Do you know anything about the different models of GAB ? I'd like to understand the differences. Esp between the Super-HP and the Super-R.

GAB Super-HP Adjustable Struts: 95+ Front, GSW2070A, $214.50 ea. (plus inbound freight) 95+ Rear, GSA9470, $147.50 ea. (plus inbound freight)

GAB Super-R Adjustable Struts: 95+ Front, GSRW2470A, $223.50 ea. (plus inbound freight) 95+ Rear, GSRX9470A, $187.70 ea. (plus inbound freight) GAB Super Stroke Struts: 95+ Front, GPW2470A, $250.28 ea. (plus inbound freight) 95+ Rear, GPA9470, $156.50 ea. (plus inbound freight)

Koni's are externally adjustable for the front, but for the rears you'd have to disassemble them to adjust them (sounds harder than it is).

GAB's valved 'better'? Maybe firmer/less firm, but that would be news to me too. Anywhere I've read stat's they are exactly the same (kyb & related GAB strut).

I'm sorry, but I don't know the differences between all the 'super' struts. I do know that super strokes are short stroke 'racing' struts. They are designed to go low and handle relatively high spring rates...I used a coilover kit w/ mine.
