Ground Control is a fairly reputable sleeve coilover manufacturer. Not sure about others' experience with them or any others, though.

Ground control, neuspeed, and skunk2 make some good coilover sleeves.

Yes, just buy the struts (KYB AGX) and purchase the coil overs. If you do decide to go with the Ground Controls I would mate them with some Koni Yellows for a little bit more $$... great combo.

I have no experience with those so my input would not be useful, though I feel that they would be fine. If you are going that route you might even want to look into some Skunk2 sport shocks.

Please search.

GR2s are factory replacements not suitable for coilovers.

I would look for some used GC coilovers, since they are a lot cheaper, and will last just as long. (you can also get custom spring rates, which is awesome)

If you're replacing both your struts and springs, I would look into full coilovers since you will end up spending almost as much with the coilovers and new struts.
