GC are not a true coilover. Notice the difference in price. Real coilovers start at 800 dollars and up. Do your research before such a large investment.

True coilovers are basically the full setup. Meaning it comes with shocks, coilover perch, and springs. So if you get a TRUE coilover setup (e.g. Tein, Zeal, etc.) you will not need shocks. If you get coilovers like skunk2, or GCs, those are just coilover sleeves with springs, and you will have to get shocks SEPERATELY from those. Difference between true coilover setup, and getting them seperately? Many cases it's preference, but what I've heard is if you get GCs or skunk2 coilover and shocks seperately, they make a lot of noise or something..hope this helps...
