i use the gt sports but they are standard.all i know is make sure you prime them before installing.which means push them down by hand and then wait for them to release.do this 3-5 times,to a point of where its moving good and sounding good :)

KYB's are good. I use them quite a bit.

Make sure you get the one specific to lowered suspension, eg, 50mm lowered KYB

Thats fine

Got them in my rear end also and used them on my falcons

Had only one issue for a install and that was on the Falcon. Made a clunking noise and got it sorted under warranty
HOWEVER was installed by my ex mechanic whom did some dodgy work so maybe they stuffed it up.

Otherwise, no dramas with them.
Nice and comfy, not too firm or sloppy and handle corners nicely
