Default ground control for MY07?

is anyone running ground control coils setup w/ stock shocks for a MY07? i plan on getting them as i have heard good reviews about gc/koni setup being better and more affordable than some well known c/o kits. stock shocks will be used for now and then upgraded in the later future...

We installed GC kit on a CR shocks. The springs rates per GC are very close to stock. Owner wanted height adjustability for now saving up for higher end suspension. I drove the car and it felt similar to Tein S-tec springs on oem shocks. IMO

Good system, relatively cheap. Best reason is that future upgrades are far less expensive. Call Jay.

Call GC and make sure the sleeve for your stock shock will work with koni. i am not quite sure but koni has remove able perches so the design for the sleeve of the GC system maybe different than stock. at least this is what happen to my other car.

I am running stock shock ground control set up on koni shocks the ground control sleeves and springs that I have are for stock shocks and can be used with koni shocks you need to get o-rings that fit snugly between the sleeve and the shock body I got the o-rings at ace hardware and installed two on each shock. the shock bodies of the konis are smaller in diameter than the stock shocks. if you are sure you are going to get koni shocks then get the ground control set up for the koni shocks its just a cleaner way to go. but it is possible to run stock shock ground control on konis
