Default KYB AGX's with Ground Controls?

I was trying to search but most people used GC for Ground Control and search function doesn't let you use that short of abbreviations. But from what I could find, some people said AGX's weren't a good combo with GC's. True? Also will the AGX's fit fine the the GC's?

Anyone with this set up please chime in.

Thats the only setup ive ever used, and i have never came across any problems. IMO ride quality is very good, and they even helped my cut 1.9 60ft's on street tires in my hatch.

Searched some more and found out that KYB AGX's aren't supposed to be dropped over 1.5" https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1252972

Yes it should. I mean I have mine set on 2 front and 4 rear which is semi soft-medium. Of course that's for driving everyday, unless you like the harsh ride or plan on performance driving.

KYB won't honor the warantee if you drop more than 1.5", but they should hold up fine.
