Default Noob question about Koni & Ground Control

So I have Koni Yellow Sport shocks for my 00 acura integra gs and i just want to make sure that the Ground Control Coilover kit goes with the Koni Yellow Sport shocks. Can I just buy the gcc sleeves and put it on the koni's?

I know Weaksauce has the combo, but i'm just making sure buying them separately would be alright.
Thanks

Ya buying them separately is no problem. And if you ever want to go with something different for your dampers later on, its an easy part swap to make the kit fit.

You can buy them separately, but make sure you get the sleeves designed specifically to fit Koni dampers. You'll want to make sure they have the groove machined into the bottom to fit over and capture the snap ring properly.

You might want to check with GC and ask if the upper hats are available for this model; if you lower your car by one inch, these hats preserve one inch of travel by allowing the damper to be installed one inch higher than the stock position. If you lower your car by two inches, you've lost but one inch of travel. Just keep an eye on spring length...
