aiight so im gonna go for the ground controll kit for my ek coupe. im wondering what is gonna be better from all of your personal experience. im thinkin Koni Yellows or Tokico Illumina adjustable gas struts. im lookin to go 2.5-3" drop. prob 2.5 potholes are a bitch in boston and im about to do my Tanabe Super Medalion Racing Spec exhaust and i want it to stay on for more than a month. lol lemme know thanks H-T

koni's are stiffer then the tokico but also cost a little more. But the extra money for the koni is well worth it. And if you are on a budget i would go with some agx's

Koni yellows... your gonna have a hard time having anything else hold up under that extreme of a drop i think!

ABK

yep koni yellows pretty much everything else will blow, if you drop it alot

anyone got any experience w. GC's? how low can you go with the stock struts ( i might not do the struts right right away) and how long do u think i can put up with the bounceing thats gonna come with that. lol!

go with koni yellows for sure. I have illuminas right now with my GCs and they are about shot. I'm saving up and getting yellows now.

How much of a drop do you have on your GC's?

dantastic

i have GC's on agx, and the ride deteriorates with low drops. i have it at almost 2" and the ride is alright. if i lower it any more, it'll get pretty rough

KONIs Pho Sho!!

I've been on GC's for about a year now on the same stock shocks that were on the car originally and on Sportlines for 2 years before the GC's. They have yet to blow and I'm lowered about how that hatch is. Flush in the front, a little higher in the rear. And despite what the idiot above said, my car handles just fine and my kidneys have no complaints......the only reason you would bounce around is if your shocks are blown or you're lowered so much that you're hitting the bumpstops.

aiight that sounds good ill go with the koni's. not rite away though. anyone know any good deals/sites that have the GC's. i want em new.

I agree. My stock shocks don't bounce. cant tell the difference in ride quality from stock except the scraping when you take a driveway too quick. only reason for wanting to get illuminas is the fact that I want a stiffer ride and better cornering.
