They are just a bit better than the stock ones. We had the stock ones for over 100K miles. I don't know if KYB ever makes Gas-A-Justs for any vehicle's fronts. We have gotten KYBs for my sister's golf, my rabbit truck and my brother's volvo. All fronts were GR2s and the rears Gas-A-Justs. Don't know why that is.

I assume there is a difference in the two models. I replaced the front ones on my truck after 50K miles (put in Boge Turbogas to support my autocross habit). I am still using the KYBs on the rear. They seem to hold up well.

BTW, my truck turned over 175K miles today!
