I have GC's on my '99 civic but what is the best combination struts to use with these? I heard Koni Yellows, or Tokiko's...? Any have a Ground Control setup?

This is exactly the point I am trying to make, drift, can you honestly answer the question, and say, "yes I think this is the best combo"

No, it is hard to do that. It is hard enough to do it with a shock spring combo, to get it right, when you also add height adjustability to it, it is even more complicated.

That is why I am not a big fan of sleeves, because no matter what shock you get, they shock is not specifically valved for any specific spring. And then you want to mess whith adjusting the height, and travel of the shock??

I'd rather take the guess work out of it with a threaded body shock, that is designed for the spring rates.

I have the Koni true coilovers on my car and I love the handling and ride now. It's dropped approx 50mm (2 inches) now. Each shock can be adjusted for how soft or firm you want the ride.

Ditto, quality on these is amazing. And the ride, sweeeeeeet
I'd highly recommend them, they're expensive yes, but you'll never regret it or need another setup

They arent really that much compared to anyother true coilover setup.

I have Eibach Sportline springs with KYB AGX. Very good combination and is a great setup for somebody on a budget. If I could do it over I would get Koni Yellow Sport cause it will allow me to adjust the height about 1" more.

how much would groundcontrol and koni yellows cost all together?

600-700$

I just changed to Tanabe coilovers. Originally it was a bit hard at first, but is settling in now, gotten a bit softer, and it is a bit bouncy, but its great on the smooth roads. Feel like you're floating, and corners are much better. :sun:

Best thing being able to adjust the height! Probably get it up another half inch at the front, still a bit too low, so should be even smoother when it gets put up

$850 or so . At that price get Apexi WS true coilovers.

[b]the tokico's are the worst struts to use with coilovers....the Koni's are the best, and of course the most expensive...for the buck, AGX are great struts

I read from other posts that Tokica Illuminas "Whites" work excellent with Ground Control. Some even send the that Tokica "Blues" work good too, but I know that the "white" are better. I'm planning to put "whites" plus g/c on my 97 Honda Accord.
