You need to get the part number off of the coilover before you purchase them. Do this because each of the Ground Control coilovers are designed for different shocks. Some GC's will only fit Koni shocks or Bilstein shocks. Their is another part number for the GC's that work with stock shocks or basic Monroe shocks.

So, before you buy these make sure of what part you are getting. Obviously, if you purchase these and they are made to fit the Bilstein or Koni shocks they won't work on your current car without replacing the shocks at the same time.

I know that he "says" that these are for "stock shocks" but I would check the part number first. Just because he "promises" that they are for stock shocks does not make it true. After all, if he is wrong, YOU suffer...not him.
