We;; if these KYB are adjustable then they didn't provide the instructions and I couldn't see how to adjust or any adjustment knob screw or anything to adjust, I had to take car into shop in order to get shocks on because I couldn't compress them enough to install in garage like my last non gas shocks. SO overall not very happy but then I haven't got car back to test drive.

Hello Gary,
“Gas-a-Just” has been a slogan/descriptor used by KYB for
these shocks for decades. However, that does not mean that they are manually
adjustable (which is an entirely different animal, and a much more expensive
shock to buy).
I have pasted the complete product description from our
website below. If you read it fully, you will see that the shock
“automatically” adjusts itself to different driving conditions. It is a
2-chamber design.
Regarding installation, we have been selling these same
shocks for three decades, many thousands of them. We’ve never heard of an
installation issue. So I am hoping that your shop has success, and that you are
pleased with the performance of the shocks. Again, please read below to
understand how the “adjusting” happens with these shocks.
Thank you,
Rick

These were very hard to get compressed but ride is much better now.

Excellent product and fast delivery. These shocks ride great on my 57 T-Bird and were a breeze to install. Highly recommend!

Wow, what a difference in the ride and handling compared to the OEM-quality shocks that were on the car! Great shocks for the casual to somewhen aggressive driver. And of course they were well-packed and shipped promptly by NPD. Very satisfied with both the product and the service!

These shocks fit my 1973 Cougar XR 7 with no problems at all. They ride very smoothly and seem to be long lasting.
