I wanted to see if anyone have similar ideas or setups with their Ground Control Coilover sleeves.

Ideally, I want to run 350lb front and 450lb rear. However, I want to know what you guys would recommend for next shocks to replace the stock ones, yet still be able to handle these spring rates?

It's intended for all around for canyon runs, daily drive, and auto-x. If these spring rates are not good, what are your opinions?

The thing is, I thought Koni's are discontinued for our cars. I just want to see if there's an existing line in case one of blown or easier to acquire for placement.

they also made gc's that are shock specific made for koni's and one for every other shock so see which one you have

I have GC's with AGX's and they feel alright. I got the dampness setting in the fron at 2 and the rear 3 and its not bad at all.

I have the same setup too. Couple questions though, how much left of your bump stop do you have?? Also, do you know how many inches you are dropped??

But im looking into coils, and am wondering what shocks would feel ok with the gcs

This seems to be a cool forum for cars freaks to come and sound their doubts and ask for opinions and generally interact with people sharing a love for cars!! It's great that can ask for an opinion here before deciding on what shocks with the GC they should opt for under the situation you have in mind!! They sure know a lot of such matters, so must be doing some overhauling on their cars all the time!!

hope ur not going to use the stock struts or the tokico blues. stocks r going to blow right away because of the high spring rate that GC's come with and tokico blues are just a crappy strut overall. i would just save up some more coin for some AGX's or hit up MWR i bought a set of Koni's about a yr ago as back ups for mine when the get rebuilt later down the road, and see if they may have a set laying around
