Default Koni's with GC coilovers??...

I currently have Tokico HP which has gone to sh*t. Combined with Ground Control coilovers. Now I plan to purchase Koni struts if so, do I buy koni struts specifically made for the GC coilovers?

I'm a bit confused, I've read people buying the struts that are specifically designed for the GC coilovers. So I'm not sure what to get, do I just buy the struts and assemble it to my current GC coilover sleeves?

Correct. Sleeve inside diameter on the GC's is made for the Koni shocks. When you buy GC coil overs, get the ones for Konis.

I see, so that means I have to purchase new GC coilovers along with the struts?

Now what about if I were to get Tokico Illuminas? Would I need to get GC specific coilovers as well?

Pretty sure there is some type of adapter so that if you have the GC's that are not for the Koni's, you can purchase this adapter to make them fit instead of buying new GC's all together. Contact GC about it. Honestly if I were you I wouldn't purchase Tokico Illuminas. Get the Koni's.

I'm pretty sure ill be getting Koni's though, lifetime warranty etc. Hmm, Ill call them up to see if they do have such adapter. Thanks.

I presume you purchased the GC coilover with Koni spec? I went on GC's website, and you have a choice of different shocks to use with the coilovers. So I guess that answers my question.
