Koni & Ground Control Question
So from what I understand, Ground Control coilovers that were made for Koni Yellow struts will NOT fit other shocks, but Ground Controls made for any other shock WILL fit Koni Yellows? Someone help me out who knows the answer to this, thanks.

Re: Koni & Ground Control Question
koni specific GC sliders are made to use the clip ring in the konis. this makes them look like a real coilover. standard gc sleeves sit on the shock perch, this is why they will work on any shock including koni. with the konis you just use the supplied perches and the gc's on top of them. it's ghetto as hell looking which is why those of us like myself on koni sports and gc sleeves spent the extra $40 on specific sleeves.

standard vs. Koni GC sleeves, note the diameter difference:
Standard sleeves with Koni perches (unsafe)
Standard sleeve with adapter ring to properly capture the Koni circlip (better)
Koni GC sleeve on Koni shock with groove machined into sleeve for capturing circlip (best)

Re: Koni & Ground Control Question
Good info. I been wondering what the adapters looked like for the koni. Because A have the GC non specific and looking to get koni shocks later on. Since the adapter keeps the bottom of the sleeve centered. What do you us for the top of the sleeve? Or is nothing required?

Re: Koni & Ground Control Question
They are "for" skunk2 coilovers to work with koni Sports, however, I have heard of them being used with other coilover sleeves.
If your worried about it working contact ground control or koni, Im sure one or the other will be able to get it for you.
