Can you guys give me an idea of what you like better overall for the cars. I am debating between oil and gas. I hear oil is a lot smoother but I am curious what you guys running the KYB think. Also do any of you run the oil in the front and gas in the back because the weight in the back is more? Does having the car lowered change the decision making process?

I'm running KYB GR2 shocks, which seem to be a good compromise. Given the light weight of these cars, you really don't want anything more firm.
I like the fact that KYB has so many ride height options but I am a little worried about the stiff ride shaking my fiberglass.
I can't tell that the ride is any stiffer than the original stock shocks I had. Seems a bit better controlled, though.
I run the GR-2 KYBs on mine.....The "Gas Adjust" units are just toooooo stiff for me, but might be ideal for a more "track" oriented user.....
I gotta vouch for that. I've got new gas ryders on my speedster is stiff. So much so that I'm planning on putting my older oil units back on up front and just get a new set of oils for the back.
Not much weight that's being carted around in the speedsters as well.
