I've got a set and I wouldn't recommend them. They're just too soft, especially with stiffer than stock struts in the front. Get a set of Tokico Blues, they're not much more thant he KYB's and are much stiffer.

The KYB GR-2 shocks are stiffer than the Gas-a-just, and they aren't any more expensive. I think the gas-a-just were meant as soft stock replacement, and the GR-2 shocks were made more on the performance side.

I have GR2s all around, paired with RB springs and I love the setup. Since you don't need the adjustability, go with either the GR2s or the Tokico Blues as Moses said..

really from everything I've read the fas-a-jst is susposed to be suck a stiff shock itat it usually raises the car about a half inch, huh? Well i've got a great price onthe koni fronts I might as well get the rears also...just that the fronts are an awsome price
http://www.classicgarage.com/classicgarage/rx72.html
but the rears are average. I want the car to be rock solid so i need a good shock to go with my springs i hate the bouncy acura thing any recomendations? And I'm not going to get tokico illuminas cause on full setting people still bounce with them in the front from what i hear. I'm prolly gonna get the koni's in front for sure just gottafigure out wat to go with in the rear... I was thinking the bilsteins, but they might be too much shock for my springs????

I had gas a justs on the rear of my old old 1st gen, and stock shocks in the front. They were a nice step up from stock.
