Yes rubber eye mounts top and bottom but I honestly don't know what GR2 is.

No worries dude, VW060 answered what version of KYB they are. The Gas-adjusts are still good shocks just not as stiff as the KYB GR2 version.

The gasajusts are there top shock for beetles, they are a high pressure shock were as the gr2 is a low pressure shock, they are stiffer that a gr2 but i find them a lot better in the handling stakes, i find the gr2 under damped and not suited to my set up.

oh, When I read the KYB bumpff the GR2 sounded the stiffer. Cheers for teh correction :)

Cool. Looks like I'll have em dude if ya can just wrap em in cardboard and measure n weigh em for me.

I estimated the weight at 5kg and length at 40cm, 15cm and 10cm. Got a quote of $14 door to door :)

If I know the exact weight and dimensions then I'll know the total cost but shouldn't be much more.

Ta,
Mike
